How to open CQL file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CQL 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.

Programs to open CQL file

Remember to download programs supporting CQL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of XDCC Catcher with CQL files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CQL file to open in the XDCC Catcher 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CQL file with the XDCC Catcher program.

Step 3. Update XDCC Catcher to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the XDCC Catcher program, it is possible that XDCC Catcher Queue List requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SiHiDa and balduz page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CQL 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the CQL file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CQL file. Sometimes virus-infected CQL 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 CQL files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 CQL files. You can restore the file from a backup or use SiHiDa and balduz help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CQL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move CQL 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CQL file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
