How to open LGE file?

The most common problem when using Log Data Format is that a specific LGE is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open LGE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LGE 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 NotePad++ text editor

The first step is to check if the computer has the NotePad++ text editor program installed. This can be achieved by typing NotePad++ text editor into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support LGE files.

Step 2. Create association of NotePad++ text editor with LGE files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LGE file to open in the NotePad++ text editor 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 select the desired program. 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 LGE file with the NotePad++ text editor program.

Step 3. Update NotePad++ text editor to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the NotePad++ text editor program, it is possible that Log Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Notepad++ Team website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LGE file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LGE file. Sometimes virus-infected LGE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LGE files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LGE 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 LGE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the LGE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the LGE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LGE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LGE file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
