How to open FSZ file?

The most common problem when using Fractal Zplot Data/parameter is that a specific FSZ is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that FSZ 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 FSZ 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 Fractal Zplot

The first step is to check if the computer has the Fractal Zplot program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Fractal Zplot in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FSZ with Fractal Zplot. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FSZ files.

Programs to open FSZ file

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

Step 2. Create association of Fractal Zplot with FSZ files

If, despite the installed application, the FSZ file does not start in the Fractal Zplot application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FSZ file with the Fractal Zplot application.

Step 3. Update Fractal Zplot to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Fractal Zplot program with the Fractal Zplot Data/parameter file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Mystic Fractal website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to FSZ 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 FSZ file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FSZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FSZ file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FSZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Mystic Fractal, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FSZ 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.
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 FSZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FSZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FSZ to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
