What is PXICON file?
The file with the extension PXICON is the Raster Image Files file type. The creator of this file is Panic. Raster Image Files consists of 522 similar files. CandyBar Icon is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Mac OS systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use CandyBar to handle this file. This is a program created by Panic Inc..
How to open PXICON file?
The most common problem when using CandyBar Icon is that a specific PXICON is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that PXICON 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 PXICON 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 CandyBar
In this case, you should first verify that the CandyBar application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing CandyBar into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file PXICON.
Programs to open PXICON file
Remember to download programs supporting PXICON files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CandyBar with PXICON files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PXICON file to open in the CandyBar 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PXICON file with the CandyBar application.
Step 3. Update CandyBar to the latest version
If, however, after binding CandyBar with CandyBar Icon there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Panic Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PXICON file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PXICON file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PXICON file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PXICON files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PXICON files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PXICON file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Panic, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PXICON 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move PXICON to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the PXICON file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
