What is OTZ file?
The OTZ file has been categorized as Settings Files. The author of this format is OpenLP. Settings Files consists of 1305 similar files. OpenLP Theme Format appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. It is recommended to use OpenLP to handle this file. This is a program created by Raoul Snyman. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs.
How to open OTZ file?
The most common problem when using OpenLP Theme Format is that a specific OTZ is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that OTZ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OTZ 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 OpenLP
The first step is to check if the computer has the OpenLP program installed. This can be achieved by typing OpenLP into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file OTZ with OpenLP. Below is a list of programs that support the file OTZ.
Programs to open OTZ file
Remember to download programs supporting OTZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of OpenLP with OTZ files
If, despite the installed application, the OTZ file does not start in the OpenLP 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the OTZ file with the OpenLP program.
Step 3. Update OpenLP to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the OpenLP program, it is possible that OpenLP Theme Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Raoul Snyman website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OTZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the OTZ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 OTZ file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OTZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of OTZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 OTZ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact OpenLP
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OTZ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the OTZ 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 OTZ 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.
