How to open DG1 file?
An often recurring problem with DuneGraph Picture Image Format is that DG1 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that DG1 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 DG1 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 RECOIL
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that RECOIL is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name RECOIL into the system search engine.

Programs to open DG1 file
Remember to download programs supporting DG1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RECOIL with DG1 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DG1 file still does not use the RECOIL program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 DG1 file with the RECOIL program.
Step 3. Update RECOIL to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RECOIL program, it is possible that DuneGraph Picture Image Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DG1 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DG1 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DG1 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DG1 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 DG1 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DG1 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DG1 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DG1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DG1 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 DG1 to close. However, some background programs may block the DG1 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
