How to open IBG file?

An often recurring problem with IBridge Project Workspace is that IBG is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that IBG 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 IBG 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 iBridge 8

In this case, you should first verify that the iBridge 8 application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing iBridge 8 into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support IBG files.

Programs to open IBG file

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

Step 2. Create association of iBridge 8 with IBG files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IBG file still does not use the iBridge 8 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. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the IBG file with the iBridge 8 program.

Step 3. Update iBridge 8 to the latest version

If, despite the association of the iBridge 8 program with the IBridge Project Workspace 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 i2 website and install the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to IBG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IBG file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected IBG 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 IBG 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IBG files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting i2, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IBG 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the IBG file to another location.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
