How to open PVX file?
The most common problem when using ParaView Configuration XML is that a specific PVX is not associated with the program. This causes the file PVX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PVX 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 ParaView
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ParaView is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ParaView 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 you will find a list of applications that support PVX files.
Programs to open PVX file
Remember to download programs supporting PVX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ParaView with PVX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PVX file to open in the ParaView application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PVX file with the ParaView program.
Step 3. Update ParaView to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ParaView program with the ParaView Configuration XML file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Kitware, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PVX 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 PVX 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PVX file. Sometimes virus-infected PVX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PVX file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PVX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Kitware, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PVX 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the PVX file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the PVX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PVX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
