How to open QDV file?
The most common problem when using Random Dot QDV Bitmap Image is that a specific QDV is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open QDV, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the QDV 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 XnView
In this case, you should first verify that the XnView application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name XnView in it. 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 QDV files.
Programs to open QDV file
Remember to download programs supporting QDV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with QDV files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the QDV file to open in the XnView application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 QDV file with the XnView application.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
If, however, after binding XnView with Random Dot QDV Bitmap Image there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QDV 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. Usually this applies to QDV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the QDV file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected QDV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the QDV file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular QDV file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted QDV 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the QDV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the QDV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file QDV to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the QDV file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
