How to open IFL file?

An often recurring problem with 3ds Max Image Format List is that IFL is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file IFL 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 IFL 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 IFL Maker

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that IFL Maker is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing IFL Maker 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 IFL files.

Programs to open IFL file

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

Step 2. Create association of IFL Maker with IFL files

If, despite the installed application, the IFL file does not start in the IFL Maker application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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 IFL Maker application as the default for handling the IFL file.

Step 3. Update IFL Maker to the latest version

If, however, after binding IFL Maker with 3ds Max Image Format List there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The IFL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IFL file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IFL or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected IFL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of IFL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IFL file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file IFL 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move IFL to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the IFL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IFL to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IFL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
