How to open FTCH file?
The most common problem when using Extensis Portfolio Image Database is that a specific FTCH is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that FTCH 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 FTCH 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 Portfolio
The first step is to check if the computer has the Portfolio program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Portfolio in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FTCH with Portfolio. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FTCH files.
Programs to open FTCH file
Remember to download programs supporting FTCH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Portfolio with FTCH files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FTCH file still does not use the Portfolio program, it means no 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Portfolio application as the default for handling the FTCH file.
Step 3. Update Portfolio to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Portfolio program with the Extensis Portfolio Image Database file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Extensis a division of Celartem, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FTCH file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to FTCH 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FTCH or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected FTCH file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FTCH 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FTCH file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Extensis a division of Celartem, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FTCH 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the FTCH file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
