Step 2. Create association of Anime List Builder with IGC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IGC file still does not use the Anime List Builder program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the IGC file with the Anime List Builder program.
Step 3. Update Anime List Builder to the latest version
If, however, after binding Anime List Builder with Anime List Builder Input Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Ignacio Garcia del Campo website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IGC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the IGC file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IGC file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected IGC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IGC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IGC files. You can restore the file from a backup or use IGC help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IGC 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the IGC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects 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 IGC file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IGC file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
