How to open IGI file?
An often recurring problem with Indigo Renderer Picture Image is that IGI is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open IGI, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IGI 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 Indigo Renderer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Indigo Renderer is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Indigo Renderer into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file IGI with Indigo Renderer. Below is a list of programs that support the file IGI.
Programs to open IGI file
Remember to download programs supporting IGI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Indigo Renderer with IGI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IGI file still does not use the Indigo Renderer program, it means no 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the IGI file with the Indigo Renderer program.
Step 3. Update Indigo Renderer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Indigo Renderer program, it is possible that Indigo Renderer Picture Image requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Glare Technologies Limited page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IGI 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 IGI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to IGI 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 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IGI or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected IGI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IGI file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular IGI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Glare Technologies Limited help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IGI 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the IGI file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the IGI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IGI file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IGI file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
