How to open NPPD file?

An often recurring problem with Navicat For PostgreSQL Data Synchronization Profile is that NPPD is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file NPPD 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 NPPD 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 PostgreSQL

In this case, you should first verify that the Navicat for PostgreSQL application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Navicat for PostgreSQL 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 NPPD files.

Step 2. Create association of Navicat for PostgreSQL with NPPD files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NPPD file to open in the Navicat for PostgreSQL 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 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NPPD file with the Navicat for PostgreSQL application.

Step 3. Update Navicat for PostgreSQL to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Navicat for PostgreSQL program, it is possible that Navicat For PostgreSQL Data Synchronization Profile requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the PremiumSoft CyberTech Ltd. website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to NPPD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NPPD file. Sometimes virus-infected NPPD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NPPD 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NPPD files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting PremiumSoft CyberTech Ltd., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NPPD 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. Copying the NPPD file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NPPD file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
