How to open DPTXT file?
The most common problem when using Drawpile Record Data Format is that a specific DPTXT is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that DPTXT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DPTXT 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 Drawpile
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Drawpile is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Drawpile in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support DPTXT files.
Programs to open DPTXT file
Remember to download programs supporting DPTXT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Drawpile with DPTXT files
If, despite the installed application, the DPTXT file does not start in the Drawpile application, you must create a file association. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DPTXT file with the Drawpile program.
Step 3. Update Drawpile to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Drawpile program with the Drawpile Record Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Calle Laakkonen website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DPTXT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The DPTXT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DPTXT 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DPTXT file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DPTXT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DPTXT 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DPTXT files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DPTXT 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. If possible, you can try to move the DPTXT file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DPTXT file again. However, some background programs may block the DPTXT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
