The DMT file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the DMT files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the DMT file on each system platform.
What is DMT file?
The file with the extension DMT is the Settings Files file type. The author of this format is Embarcadero Technologies. Settings Files consists of 1305 similar files. Delphi Menu Template Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The Delphi application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc..
How to open DMT file?
An often recurring problem with Delphi Menu Template Format is that DMT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file DMT 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 DMT 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 Delphi
The first step is to check if the computer has the Delphi program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Delphi in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DMT with Delphi. Below you will find a list of applications that support DMT files.
Programs to open DMT file
Remember to download programs supporting DMT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Delphi with DMT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DMT file to open in the Delphi 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DMT file with the Delphi application.
Step 3. Update Delphi to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Delphi program, it is possible that Delphi Menu Template Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DMT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The DMT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DMT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 DMT file. Sometimes virus-infected DMT 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 DMT files changes over time. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DMT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Embarcadero Technologies
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DMT 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 DMT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DMT to close. However, some background programs may block the DMT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
