What is JVXL file?

The file in the JVXL format belongs to the Raster Image Files category. Raster Image Files consists of 522 similar files. Jmol Voxel Data Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file.

How to open JVXL file?

An often recurring problem with Jmol Voxel Data Format is that JVXL is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open JVXL, 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 JVXL 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 Jmol

The first step is to check if the computer has the Jmol program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Jmol in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file JVXL.

Programs to open JVXL file

Remember to download programs supporting JVXL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Jmol with JVXL files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the JVXL file to open in the Jmol application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Jmol application as the default for handling the JVXL file.

Step 3. Update Jmol to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Jmol program, it is possible that Jmol Voxel Data Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SourceForge.net website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JVXL file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The JVXL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the JVXL file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the JVXL file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected JVXL 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 JVXL files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JVXL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JVXL 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 JVXL file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the JVXL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JVXL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
