Step 2. Create association of INRIA/UNSA Mascopt with OD files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the OD file still does not use the INRIA/UNSA Mascopt program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the OD file with the INRIA/UNSA Mascopt program.

Step 3. Update INRIA/UNSA Mascopt to the latest version

If, despite the association of the INRIA/UNSA Mascopt program with the Mascopt Graph Request Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OD 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the OD file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file OD or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of OD 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged OD files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file OD 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 OD file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OD to close. However, some background programs may block the OD file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
