Remember to download programs supporting GEDATA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Omics Explorer with GEDATA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GEDATA file to open in the Omics Explorer application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GEDATA file with the Omics Explorer program.
Step 3. Update Omics Explorer to the latest version
If, however, after binding Omics Explorer with Qlucore Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the QLUCORE AB website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GEDATA 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the GEDATA file contents when downloading or copying. 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 GEDATA file. Sometimes virus-infected GEDATA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of GEDATA file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 option of recovering data from damaged GEDATA files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Qlucore help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted GEDATA 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the GEDATA file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the GEDATA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GEDATA file again. However, some background programs may block the GEDATA file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
