The KV file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the KV files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the KV file on each system platform.
What is KV file?
The file in the KV format belongs to the Developer Files category. In addition to this file, the Developer Files category includes 1205 related files. Kivy Language Data Format is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.
How to open KV file?
The main problem with Kivy Language Data Format is that the KV file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that KV files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KV 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 Kivy
The first step is to check if the computer has the Kivy program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Kivy in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open KV files.
Programs to open KV file
Remember to download programs supporting KV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Kivy with KV files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the KV file to open in the Kivy 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the KV file with the Kivy program.
Step 3. Update Kivy to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Kivy program, it is possible that Kivy Language Data Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KV 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KV file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the KV file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the KV file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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 KV file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file KV 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the KV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the KV file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
