How to open MGSPOT file?
The most common problem when using MacGourmet Metadata is that a specific MGSPOT is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MGSPOT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MGSPOT 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 MacGourmet Deluxe
In this case, you should first verify that the MacGourmet Deluxe application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name MacGourmet Deluxe in it. 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 MGSPOT files.
Programs to open MGSPOT file
Remember to download programs supporting MGSPOT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MacGourmet Deluxe with MGSPOT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MGSPOT file still does not use the MacGourmet Deluxe program, it means no association. 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. 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 MGSPOT file with the MacGourmet Deluxe program.
Step 3. Update MacGourmet Deluxe to the latest version
If, however, after binding MacGourmet Deluxe with MacGourmet Metadata there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Mariner Software, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MGSPOT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The MGSPOT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MGSPOT file contents when downloading or copying. 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 MGSPOT file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MGSPOT 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 MGSPOT files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MGSPOT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Mariner Software, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MGSPOT 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 MGSPOT file to another location will fix the problem.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MGSPOT file again. However, some background programs may block the MGSPOT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
