The GTM file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the GTM files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the GTM file on each system platform.
What is GTM file?
The file in the GTM format belongs to the Data Files category. It was designed by Charles H. King. In addition to this file, the Data Files category includes 1326 related files. GreekToMe Translation Format appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is GreekToMe. This was created by Chuck & Andrea King. Alternatively, you can use 3 other programs. You can use GPS TrackMaker in case GreekToMe cannot be used.
How to open GTM file?
The most common problem when using GreekToMe Translation Format is that a specific GTM is not associated with the program. This causes the file GTM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GTM 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 GreekToMe
In this case, you should first verify that the GreekToMe application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name GreekToMe into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open GTM files.
Programs to open GTM file
Remember to download programs supporting GTM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GreekToMe with GTM files
If, despite the installed application, the GTM file does not start in the GreekToMe application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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 GreekToMe application as the default for handling the GTM file.
Step 3. Update GreekToMe to the latest version
If, however, after binding GreekToMe with GreekToMe Translation Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Chuck & Andrea King page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GTM 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. Usually this applies to GTM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GTM file. Sometimes virus-infected GTM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GTM 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.
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 GTM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Charles H. King, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GTM files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. If possible, you can try to move the GTM file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the GTM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GTM file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GTM file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
