What is EVF file?
The file with the extension EVF is the Graphic Files file type. The author of this format is Exelis Visual Information Solutions. Graphic Files consists of 524 similar files. ENVI Vector appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use ENVI to handle this file. This is a program created by Exelis Visual Information Solutions.
How to open EVF file?
The main problem with ENVI Vector is that the EVF file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that EVF 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 EVF 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 ENVI
In this case, you should first verify that the ENVI application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ENVI in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EVF with ENVI. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open EVF files.
Programs to open EVF file
Remember to download programs supporting EVF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ENVI with EVF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EVF file to open in the ENVI 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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 EVF file with the ENVI program.
Step 3. Update ENVI to the latest version
If, however, after binding ENVI with ENVI Vector there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Exelis Visual Information Solutions website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EVF 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 EVF 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EVF file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EVF 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 EVF 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EVF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Exelis Visual Information Solutions help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file EVF 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the EVF file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the EVF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the EVF file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
