The file in the FKT format belongs to the Misc Files category. It was designed by KDE e.V. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files.

This is a program created by KDE e.V.
How to open FKT file?
An often recurring problem with KmPlot Data is that FKT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file FKT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FKT 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 KmPlot
The first step is to check if the computer has the KmPlot program installed. To do this, enter the name KmPlot into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support FKT files.
Programs to open FKT file
Remember to download programs supporting FKT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of KmPlot with FKT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FKT file to open in the KmPlot 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FKT file with the KmPlot application.
Step 3. Update KmPlot to the latest version
If, despite the association of the KmPlot program with the KmPlot Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the KDE e.V website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FKT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to FKT 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FKT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected FKT 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 FKT 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FKT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting KDE e.V, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FKT 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. Copying the FKT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FKT file again. However, some background programs may block the FKT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
