How to open GIFT file?
The most common problem when using Moodle GIFT Format is that a specific GIFT is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that GIFT 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 GIFT 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 Sublime Text
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Sublime Text is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Sublime Text in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file GIFT with Sublime Text. Below is a list of programs that support the file GIFT.
Programs to open GIFT file
Remember to download programs supporting GIFT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sublime Text with GIFT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GIFT file still does not use the Sublime Text 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 Sublime Text application as the default for handling the GIFT file.
Step 3. Update Sublime Text to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Sublime Text program with the Moodle GIFT Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Sublime HQ Pty Ltd website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GIFT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GIFT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GIFT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected GIFT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of GIFT 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 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 GIFT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GIFT 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. It is best to move GIFT to a different directory.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GIFT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GIFT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
