How to open BRV file?
An often recurring problem with BraveViewer Thumbnail Cache is that BRV is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file BRV 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 BRV 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 BraveViewer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that BraveViewer is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name BraveViewer in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BRV files.
Programs to open BRV file
Remember to download programs supporting BRV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BraveViewer with BRV files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BRV file to open in the BraveViewer application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 BraveViewer application as the default for handling the BRV file.
Step 3. Update BraveViewer to the latest version
If, however, after binding BraveViewer with BraveViewer Thumbnail Cache there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the BraveTech Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BRV file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The BRV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BRV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BRV file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected BRV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BRV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BRV file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting BraveTech Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file BRV 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 BRV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
