The AMI file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the AMI files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the AMI file on each system platform.
What is AMI file?
The file with the extension AMI is the Graphic Files file type. Graphic Files consists of 524 similar files. Amica Paint is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use XnView to handle this file. This is a program created by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet.
How to open AMI file?
The main problem with Amica Paint is that the AMI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file AMI to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AMI 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 XnView
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XnView is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing XnView 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 AMI with XnView. Below is a list of programs that support the file AMI.
Programs to open AMI file
Remember to download programs supporting AMI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with AMI files
If, despite the installed application, the AMI file does not start in the XnView application, you must create a file 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the AMI file with the XnView program.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the XnView program, it is possible that Amica Paint requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AMI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AMI file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AMI file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected AMI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the AMI files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AMI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AMI files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move AMI to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AMI to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AMI file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
