What is GMP file?

The file with the extension GMP is the Graphic Files file type. The author of this format is Patrice St-Gelais. Graphic Files consists of 524 similar files. Geomorph Tile Map appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use Geomorph to handle this file. This is a program created by Patrice St-Gelais.

How to open GMP file?

An often recurring problem with Geomorph Tile Map is that GMP is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open GMP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GMP 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 Geomorph

The first step is to check if the computer has the Geomorph program installed. This can be achieved by typing Geomorph 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 GMP with Geomorph. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open GMP files.

Programs to open GMP file

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

Step 2. Create association of Geomorph with GMP files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GMP file to open in the Geomorph application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GMP file with the Geomorph application.

Step 3. Update Geomorph to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Geomorph program, it is possible that Geomorph Tile Map requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Patrice St-Gelais website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to GMP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 GMP file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GMP 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 GMP file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GMP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Patrice St-Gelais help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GMP 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move GMP 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GMP file again. However, some background programs may block the GMP file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
