The GCP file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the GCP files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the GCP file on each system platform.
What is GCP file?
The file in the GCP format belongs to the Settings Files category. The creator of this file is Coloritto BV. Settings Files consists of 1305 similar files. Spectramap Group Properties is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Spectramap. This was created by Coloritto BV.
How to open GCP file?
The main problem with Spectramap Group Properties is that the GCP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file GCP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GCP 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 Spectramap
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Spectramap is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Spectramap into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open GCP files.
Programs to open GCP file
Remember to download programs supporting GCP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Spectramap with GCP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GCP file still does not use the Spectramap program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Spectramap application as the default for handling the GCP file.
Step 3. Update Spectramap to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Spectramap program with the Spectramap Group Properties file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Coloritto BV website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GCP 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to GCP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 GCP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected GCP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GCP file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GCP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Coloritto BV
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GCP 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 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. It is best to move GCP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the GCP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GCP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GCP file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
