How to open GMD file?
The main problem with Game Maker Program Code is that the GMD file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file GMD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GMD 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 GameMaker
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that GameMaker is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing GameMaker 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 GMD with GameMaker. Below you will find a list of applications that support GMD files.
Programs to open GMD file
Remember to download programs supporting GMD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GameMaker with GMD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GMD file still does not use the GameMaker 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GMD file with the GameMaker application.
Step 3. Update GameMaker to the latest version
If, however, after binding GameMaker with Game Maker Program Code there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GMD 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the GMD file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GMD file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GMD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GMD file. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GMD files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file GMD 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. Copying the GMD file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GMD to close. However, some background programs may block the GMD file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
