How to open RLI file?
The main problem with RealWorld Graphics Layered Image is that the RLI file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open RLI, 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 RLI 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 RealWorld Icon Editor
The first step is to check if the computer has the RealWorld Icon Editor program installed. To do this, enter the name RealWorld Icon Editor into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RLI files.
Programs to open RLI file
Remember to download programs supporting RLI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RealWorld Icon Editor with RLI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RLI file to open in the RealWorld Icon Editor 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the RealWorld Icon Editor application as the default for handling the RLI file.
Step 3. Update RealWorld Icon Editor to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RealWorld Icon Editor program, it is possible that RealWorld Graphics Layered Image requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the RealWorld Graphics page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RLI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the RLI file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RLI or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RLI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RLI 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RLI files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting RealWorld Graphics, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RLI 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.
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. Copying the RLI file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RLI file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RLI file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
