How to open EDJ file?

An often recurring problem with Enlightenment Theme Format is that EDJ is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that EDJ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EDJ 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 Enlightenment

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Enlightenment is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Enlightenment in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file EDJ.

Programs to open EDJ file

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

Step 2. Create association of Enlightenment with EDJ files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EDJ file still does not use the Enlightenment program, it means no association. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Enlightenment application as the default for handling the EDJ file.

Step 3. Update Enlightenment to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Enlightenment program, it is possible that Enlightenment Theme Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Enlightenment.org website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the EDJ file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EDJ file. However, remember that not every infected EDJ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the EDJ 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EDJ files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Enlightenment.org help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EDJ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the EDJ file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the EDJ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EDJ to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
