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

Step 2. Create association of GlobalQSL Graphic Editor with GDE files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GDE file still does not use the GlobalQSL Graphic Editor 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the GlobalQSL Graphic Editor application as the default for handling the GDE file.

Step 3. Update GlobalQSL Graphic Editor to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the GlobalQSL Graphic Editor program, it is possible that GlobalQSL Graphic Editor requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the GlobalQSL website and install the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GDE file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GDE file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected GDE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of GDE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GDE file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting GlobalQSL, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GDE 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 GDE 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GDE file again. However, some background programs may block the GDE file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
