How to open NPD file?

The most common problem when using Navicat For MySQL Data Synchronize Profile is that a specific NPD is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open NPD, 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 NPD 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 Navicat for MySQL

In this case, you should first verify that the Navicat for MySQL application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Navicat for MySQL into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NPD with Navicat for MySQL. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NPD files.

Step 2. Create association of Navicat for MySQL with NPD files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NPD file still does not use the Navicat for MySQL program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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 select the desired program. 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 Navicat for MySQL application as the default for handling the NPD file.

Step 3. Update Navicat for MySQL to the latest version

If, however, after binding Navicat for MySQL with Navicat For MySQL Data Synchronize Profile 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 PremiumSoft CyberTech Ltd. page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the NPD file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NPD file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NPD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NPD 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NPD files. You can restore the file from a backup or use PremiumSoft CyberTech Ltd. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NPD 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the NPD file to another location.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NPD file again. 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.
