How to open LEI file?
An often recurring problem with Leica SP1 Image Session is that LEI is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file LEI 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 LEI 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 ImageJ
In this case, you should first verify that the ImageJ application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ImageJ in it. 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 LEI files.
Programs to open LEI file
Remember to download programs supporting LEI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ImageJ with LEI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LEI file to open in the ImageJ 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ImageJ application as the default for handling the LEI file.
Step 3. Update ImageJ to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ImageJ program, it is possible that Leica SP1 Image Session requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Wayne Rasband website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LEI 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to LEI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LEI or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected LEI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LEI file. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LEI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LEI 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move LEI to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the LEI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the LEI file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
