What is RLB file?
The file with the extension RLB is the Graphic Files file type. Graphic Files consists of 524 similar files. Alias/Wavefront Bitmap Image is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is XnView. This was created by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet.
How to open RLB file?
An often recurring problem with Alias/Wavefront Bitmap Image is that RLB is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that RLB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RLB 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the XnView program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name XnView in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RLB with XnView. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RLB files.
Programs to open RLB file
Remember to download programs supporting RLB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with RLB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RLB file still does not use the XnView program, it means no association. 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. 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 RLB file with the XnView program.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
If, however, after binding XnView with Alias/Wavefront 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 RLB file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RLB file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RLB file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RLB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of RLB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 RLB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RLB 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 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 RLB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the RLB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
