How to open FTH file?
The most common problem when using FileMaker Theme Format is that a specific FTH is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that FTH 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 FTH 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 FileMaker Pro
The first step is to check if the computer has the FileMaker Pro program installed. This can be achieved by typing FileMaker Pro 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 FTH with FileMaker Pro. Below is a list of programs that support the file FTH.
Programs to open FTH file
Remember to download programs supporting FTH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FileMaker Pro with FTH files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FTH file still does not use the FileMaker Pro program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 FTH file with the FileMaker Pro application.
Step 3. Update FileMaker Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the FileMaker Pro program, it is possible that FileMaker Theme Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the FileMaker, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FTH file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The FTH file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to FTH files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 FTH file. However, remember that not every infected FTH 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 FTH files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FTH file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use FileMaker help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FTH except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the FTH file to another location will fix the problem.
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 FTH file again. 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.
