How to open GT file?
An often recurring problem with Gold Thread Embroidery Format is that GT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file GT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GT 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 Embird Embroidery Software
The first step is to check if the computer has the Embird Embroidery Software program installed. To do this, enter the name Embird Embroidery Software into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open GT files.
Programs to open GT file
Remember to download programs supporting GT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Embird Embroidery Software with GT files
If, despite the installed application, the GT file does not start in the Embird Embroidery Software application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 GT file with the Embird Embroidery Software application.
Step 3. Update Embird Embroidery Software to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Embird Embroidery Software program, it is possible that Gold Thread Embroidery Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the BALARAD, s.r.o. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GT 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GT file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GT or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GT files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GT 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move GT 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
