What is RTL file?
The RTL file has been categorized as Document Files. Additionally, the Document Files category contains 574 of other files. Text is most often found on 2 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use NotePad++ text editor to handle this file. This is a program created by Notepad++ Team. Alternatively, you can use 2 other programs. The gedit, Windows Notepad programs will also handle the file when the NotePad++ text editor program does not fulfill its role.
How to open RTL file?
The most common problem when using Text is that a specific RTL is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that RTL 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 RTL 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 NotePad++ text editor
The first step is to check if the computer has the NotePad++ text editor program installed. To do this, enter the name NotePad++ text 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 RTL files.
Programs to open RTL file
Remember to download programs supporting RTL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NotePad++ text editor with RTL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RTL file to open in the NotePad++ text editor 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. 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. 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 RTL file with the NotePad++ text editor program.
Step 3. Update NotePad++ text editor to the latest version
If, despite the association of the NotePad++ text editor program with the Text file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Notepad++ Team website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RTL 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 RTL file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RTL or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RTL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RTL 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RTL 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.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RTL 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. Copying the RTL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the RTL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RTL file again. 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.
