How to open BDCT file?
The main problem with BBEdit Dictionary is that the BDCT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file BDCT 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 BDCT 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 BBEdit
In this case, you should first verify that the BBEdit application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing BBEdit into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open BDCT file
Remember to download programs supporting BDCT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BBEdit with BDCT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BDCT file to open in the BBEdit application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BDCT file with the BBEdit application.
Step 3. Update BBEdit to the latest version
If, despite the association of the BBEdit program with the BBEdit Dictionary file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Bare Bones Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BDCT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to BDCT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BDCT or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BDCT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of BDCT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 option of recovering data from damaged BDCT files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Bare Bones Software help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BDCT 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the BDCT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BDCT 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 BDCT to close. However, some background programs may block the BDCT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
