The INT file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the INT files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the INT file on each system platform.
What is INT file?
The INT file has been categorized as Raster Image Files. It was designed by Silicon Graphics. In addition to this file, the Raster Image Files category includes 522 related files. SGI Integer Image is supported by 3 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use XnView to handle this file. This is a program created by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet. Alternatively, you can use 3 other programs. The ACDSee programs will also handle the file when the XnView program does not fulfill its role.
How to open INT file?
The most common problem when using SGI Integer Image is that a specific INT is not associated with the program. This causes the file INT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the INT 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 XnView
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XnView is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name XnView in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file INT.
Programs to open INT file
Remember to download programs supporting INT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with INT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the INT file to open in the XnView 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 XnView application as the default for handling the INT file.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
If, despite the association of the XnView program with the SGI Integer Image file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the INT 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. Usually this applies to INT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the INT file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected INT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of INT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 option of recovering data from damaged INT files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Silicon Graphics
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file INT 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the INT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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 INT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the INT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
