What is OD1 file?
The file in the OD1 format belongs to the Database Files category. The author of this format is TigerLogic Corp. (Omnis Technology Corporation). Additionally, the Database Files category contains 403 of other files. Omnis 5 Database is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The Omnis Studio application is recommended to open the file. It was released by TigerLogic Corp. (Omnis Technology Corporation).
How to open OD1 file?
The most common problem when using Omnis 5 Database is that a specific OD1 is not associated with the program. This causes the file OD1 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OD1 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 Omnis Studio
In this case, you should first verify that the Omnis Studio application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Omnis Studio in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open OD1 files.
Programs to open OD1 file
Remember to download programs supporting OD1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Omnis Studio with OD1 files
If, despite the installed application, the OD1 file does not start in the Omnis Studio application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Omnis Studio application as the default for handling the OD1 file.
Step 3. Update Omnis Studio to the latest version
If, however, after binding Omnis Studio with Omnis 5 Database there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the TigerLogic Corp. (Omnis Technology Corporation) website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OD1 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The OD1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to OD1 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the OD1 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OD1 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 OD1 files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged OD1 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting TigerLogic Corp. (Omnis Technology Corporation), but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OD1 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 OD1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OD1 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
