It was released by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet.
How to open LWI file?
The most common problem when using Light Work Image Image Format is that a specific LWI is not associated with the program. This causes the file LWI to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LWI 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 XnView
In this case, you should first verify that the XnView application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name XnView 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 LWI.
Programs to open LWI file
Remember to download programs supporting LWI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with LWI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LWI file to open in the XnView application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the LWI file with the XnView application.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the XnView program, it is possible that Light Work Image Image Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LWI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LWI file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LWI file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected LWI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LWI 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.
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 LWI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LWI 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move LWI to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LWI to close. However, some background programs may block the LWI file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
