How to open IGN file?
The most common problem when using RoboHelp Ignore List Format is that a specific IGN is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open IGN, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IGN 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 Adobe RoboHelp
The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe RoboHelp program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Adobe RoboHelp in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file IGN with Adobe RoboHelp. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open IGN files.
Programs to open IGN file
Remember to download programs supporting IGN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe RoboHelp with IGN files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IGN file still does not use the Adobe RoboHelp program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 IGN file with the Adobe RoboHelp program.
Step 3. Update Adobe RoboHelp to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe RoboHelp program with the RoboHelp Ignore List Format 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 Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IGN file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The IGN file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to IGN 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IGN file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected IGN file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the IGN files changes over time. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IGN file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IGN files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move IGN to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IGN to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IGN file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
