What is LCM file?
The file in the LCM format belongs to the Data Files category. It was designed by Lipikar. Data Files consists of 1326 similar files. Lipikar Custom Map Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Lipikar. This was created by Santanu Ghosh.
How to open LCM file?
The most common problem when using Lipikar Custom Map Format is that a specific LCM is not associated with the program. This causes the file LCM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LCM 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 Lipikar
The first step is to check if the computer has the Lipikar program installed. To do this, enter the name Lipikar 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 LCM files.
Programs to open LCM file
Remember to download programs supporting LCM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Lipikar with LCM files
If, despite the installed application, the LCM file does not start in the Lipikar application, you must create a file 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. 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 Lipikar application as the default for handling the LCM file.
Step 3. Update Lipikar to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Lipikar program with the Lipikar Custom Map Format 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 Santanu Ghosh page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LCM file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The LCM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LCM file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LCM file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected LCM 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 LCM 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LCM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Lipikar help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file LCM 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move LCM to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
