How to open Q2Q file?
The most common problem when using Flexify Photoshop Plug-in is that a specific Q2Q is not associated with the program. This causes the file Q2Q 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 Q2Q 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 Adobe Photoshop
The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe Photoshop program installed. To do this, enter the name Adobe Photoshop into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support Q2Q files.
Programs to open Q2Q file
Remember to download programs supporting Q2Q files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Photoshop with Q2Q files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the Q2Q file to open in the Adobe Photoshop 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the Q2Q file with the Adobe Photoshop program.
Step 3. Update Adobe Photoshop to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe Photoshop program, it is possible that Flexify Photoshop Plug-in requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Adobe Systems Incorporated website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the Q2Q file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the Q2Q 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file Q2Q or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover Q2Q files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the Q2Q 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair Q2Q file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Flaming Pear Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted Q2Q files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the Q2Q file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 Q2Q file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
