It is recommended to use Anki to handle this file. This is a program created by Damien Elmes.
How to open ANKI file?
An often recurring problem with Anki Deck is that ANKI is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that ANKI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ANKI 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 Anki
The first step is to check if the computer has the Anki program installed. To do this, enter the name Anki into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ANKI with Anki. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ANKI files.
Programs to open ANKI file
Remember to download programs supporting ANKI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Anki with ANKI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ANKI file still does not use the Anki program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Anki application as the default for handling the ANKI file.
Step 3. Update Anki to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Anki program with the Anki Deck file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Damien Elmes website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ANKI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ANKI file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ANKI file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ANKI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ANKI 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ANKI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Damien Elmes
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ANKI 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move ANKI to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ANKI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
