What is PLGX file?
The file with the extension PLGX is the Misc Files file type. The creator of this file is Dominik Reichl. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. KeePass Optional Plugin Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use KeePass Password Safe to handle this file. This is a program created by Dominik Reichl.
How to open PLGX file?
The most common problem when using KeePass Optional Plugin Format is that a specific PLGX is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that PLGX 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 PLGX 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 KeePass Password Safe
The first step is to check if the computer has the KeePass Password Safe program installed. This can be achieved by typing KeePass Password Safe 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 PLGX with KeePass Password Safe. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PLGX files.
Programs to open PLGX file
Remember to download programs supporting PLGX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of KeePass Password Safe with PLGX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PLGX file to open in the KeePass Password Safe application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. 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 KeePass Password Safe application as the default for handling the PLGX file.
Step 3. Update KeePass Password Safe to the latest version
If, despite the association of the KeePass Password Safe program with the KeePass Optional Plugin Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Dominik Reichl page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PLGX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The PLGX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the PLGX file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PLGX or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PLGX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PLGX file. 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 PLGX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Dominik Reichl, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PLGX 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. It is best to move PLGX to a different directory.
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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PLGX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PLGX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
