How to open PLANNER file?

The most common problem when using Gnome Planner Format is that a specific PLANNER is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that PLANNER 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 PLANNER 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 Gnome Planner

In this case, you should first verify that the Gnome Planner application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Gnome Planner 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PLANNER files.

Programs to open PLANNER file

Remember to download programs supporting PLANNER files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Gnome Planner with PLANNER files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PLANNER file to open in the Gnome Planner application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PLANNER file with the Gnome Planner application.

Step 3. Update Gnome Planner to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Gnome Planner program with the Gnome Planner 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 PLANNER file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the PLANNER file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 PLANNER or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PLANNER files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PLANNER 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PLANNER file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PLANNER 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the PLANNER 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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the PLANNER file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
