What is FGT file?

The file in the FGT format belongs to the Misc Files category. It was designed by SourceForge.net. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. FreeGantt Skeleton 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 FreeGantt application is recommended to open the file. It was released by SourceForge.net.

How to open FGT file?

The main problem with FreeGantt Skeleton is that the FGT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file FGT 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 FGT 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 FreeGantt

The first step is to check if the computer has the FreeGantt program installed. This can be achieved by typing FreeGantt 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 FGT files.

Programs to open FGT file

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

Step 2. Create association of FreeGantt with FGT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FGT file to open in the FreeGantt 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 select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FGT file with the FreeGantt program.

Step 3. Update FreeGantt to the latest version

If, however, after binding FreeGantt with FreeGantt Skeleton there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the SourceForge.net website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to FGT 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FGT file. However, remember that not every infected FGT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FGT 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.
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 FGT files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SourceForge.net
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FGT 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 FGT 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FGT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FGT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
