What is D file?

The file with the extension D is the Developer Files file type. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. D Source Code Format is most often found on 3 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. There are also 7 alternative programs to handle the D file. TextMate, GDC, D compiler will apply when it is not possible to use Code::Blocks.

How to open D file?

The main problem with D Source Code Format is that the D file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that D 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 D 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 Code::Blocks

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Code::Blocks is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Code::Blocks 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 D with Code::Blocks. Below you will find a list of applications that support D files.

Step 2. Create association of Code::Blocks with D files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the D file to open in the Code::Blocks 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Code::Blocks application as the default for handling the D file.

Step 3. Update Code::Blocks to the latest version

If, however, after binding Code::Blocks with D Source Code Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the D file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the D file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file D or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected D file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the D file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular D file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file D 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the D file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the D file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the D file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
