How to open IGT file?
The most common problem when using IGrafx Document Template is that a specific IGT is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that IGT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IGT 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 FlowCharter
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that FlowCharter is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name FlowCharter into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open IGT files.
Programs to open IGT file
Remember to download programs supporting IGT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FlowCharter with IGT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IGT file to open in the FlowCharter application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 FlowCharter application as the default for handling the IGT file.
Step 3. Update FlowCharter to the latest version
If, despite the association of the FlowCharter program with the IGrafx Document Template file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IGT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IGT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IGT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected IGT 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 IGT 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular IGT file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IGT 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move IGT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the IGT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IGT file again. However, some background programs may block the IGT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
