What is OSGB file?
The file with the extension OSGB is the 3D Image Files file type. Additionally, the 3D Image Files category contains 622 of other files. OpenSceneGraph Binary Scene Data Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is OpenSceneGraph. This was created by OpenSceneGraph Developers.
How to open OSGB file?
The most common problem when using OpenSceneGraph Binary Scene Data Format is that a specific OSGB is not associated with the program. This causes the file OSGB 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 OSGB 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 OpenSceneGraph
In this case, you should first verify that the OpenSceneGraph application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name OpenSceneGraph into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support OSGB files.
Programs to open OSGB file
Remember to download programs supporting OSGB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of OpenSceneGraph with OSGB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the OSGB file still does not use the OpenSceneGraph 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the OSGB file with the OpenSceneGraph application.
Step 3. Update OpenSceneGraph to the latest version
If, however, after binding OpenSceneGraph with OpenSceneGraph Binary Scene Data Format 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 OpenSceneGraph Developers page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OSGB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to OSGB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file OSGB or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected OSGB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the OSGB file. 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 ability to automatically repair OSGB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file OSGB 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.
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. If possible, you can try to move the OSGB file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the OSGB file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
