What is ALBUM file?

The ALBUM file has been categorized as Misc Files. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. Thumbnail Cache appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is FileCenter. This was created by Lucion Technologies, LLC.. There are also 4 alternative programs to handle the ALBUM file. The Picture Information Extractor, SortPix XL, UltraExplorer, WildBit Viewer programs will also handle the file when the FileCenter program does not fulfill its role.

How to open ALBUM file?

An often recurring problem with Thumbnail Cache is that ALBUM is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that ALBUM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ALBUM file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install FileCenter

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that FileCenter is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing FileCenter into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ALBUM with FileCenter. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ALBUM files.

Step 2. Create association of FileCenter with ALBUM files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ALBUM file still does not use the FileCenter program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ALBUM file with the FileCenter application.

Step 3. Update FileCenter to the latest version

If, however, after binding FileCenter with Thumbnail Cache there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Lucion Technologies, LLC. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ALBUM file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The ALBUM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ALBUM file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ALBUM file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ALBUM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ALBUM file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ALBUM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ALBUM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ALBUM to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the ALBUM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ALBUM to close. However, some background programs may block the ALBUM file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
