How to open GGT file?
The main problem with GeoGebra User-defined Tool is that the GGT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that GGT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GGT 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 GeoGebra
The first step is to check if the computer has the GeoGebra program installed. This can be achieved by typing GeoGebra 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 GGT with GeoGebra. Below you will find a list of applications that support GGT files.
Programs to open GGT file
Remember to download programs supporting GGT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GeoGebra with GGT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GGT file still does not use the GeoGebra 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GGT file with the GeoGebra program.
Step 3. Update GeoGebra to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the GeoGebra program, it is possible that GeoGebra User-defined Tool requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the GeoGebra Team website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GGT 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GGT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GGT file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected GGT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of GGT 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GGT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting GeoGebra Team, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted GGT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move GGT to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GGT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GGT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
