The main problem with Electric Image EIDI Format is that the EIDI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that EIDI 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 EIDI 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 XnView MP
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XnView MP is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing XnView MP into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open EIDI files.
Programs to open EIDI file
Remember to download programs supporting EIDI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView MP with EIDI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EIDI file to open in the XnView MP application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 EIDI file with the XnView MP application.
Step 3. Update XnView MP to the latest version
If, however, after binding XnView MP with Electric Image EIDI Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EIDI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the EIDI file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file EIDI or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EIDI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of EIDI file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EIDI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EIDI 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 EIDI 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 you have to wait for the session to the file EIDI to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EIDI file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
