What is PIDB file?
The PIDB file has been categorized as Misc Files. The creator of this file is MonoDevelop. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. Parser Information Database is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Mac OS. The MonoDevelop application is recommended to open the file. It was released by MonoDevelop.
How to open PIDB file?
The most common problem when using Parser Information Database is that a specific PIDB is not associated with the program. This causes the file PIDB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PIDB 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 MonoDevelop
The first step is to check if the computer has the MonoDevelop program installed. This can be achieved by typing MonoDevelop 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 is a list of programs that support the file PIDB.
Programs to open PIDB file
Remember to download programs supporting PIDB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MonoDevelop with PIDB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PIDB file still does not use the MonoDevelop 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. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MonoDevelop application as the default for handling the PIDB file.
Step 3. Update MonoDevelop to the latest version
If, however, after binding MonoDevelop with Parser Information Database there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the MonoDevelop website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PIDB 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:
The PIDB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the PIDB file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PIDB file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PIDB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PIDB 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PIDB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact MonoDevelop
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PIDB 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the PIDB file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PIDB file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PIDB file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
