How to open OBV file?
The most common problem when using 3D Photo Browser Thumbnail Cache is that a specific OBV is not associated with the program. This causes the file OBV 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 OBV 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 3D Photo Browser
The first step is to check if the computer has the 3D Photo Browser program installed. This can be achieved by typing 3D Photo Browser 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 OBV files.
Programs to open OBV file
Remember to download programs supporting OBV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 3D Photo Browser with OBV files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OBV file to open in the 3D Photo Browser 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the OBV file with the 3D Photo Browser program.
Step 3. Update 3D Photo Browser to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the 3D Photo Browser program, it is possible that 3D Photo Browser Thumbnail Cache 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 Mootools software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OBV file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to OBV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file OBV or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected OBV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of OBV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OBV file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Mootools software
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file OBV 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move OBV to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OBV to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
