How to open FIZ file?
The main problem with FITS Graphics is that the FIZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FIZ 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 FIZ 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 FITSview
The first step is to check if the computer has the FITSview program installed. This can be achieved by typing FITSview into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FIZ with FITSview. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FIZ files.
Programs to open FIZ file
Remember to download programs supporting FIZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FITSview with FIZ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FIZ file to open in the FITSview application, but you can set it manually. 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 FIZ file with the FITSview program.
Step 3. Update FITSview to the latest version
If, however, after binding FITSview with FITS Graphics there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FIZ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The FIZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to FIZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FIZ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected FIZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FIZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FIZ files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FIZ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the FIZ 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FIZ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FIZ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
