The SAVE file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the SAVE files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the SAVE file on each system platform.
What is SAVE file?
The SAVE file has been categorized as Text Files. The author of this format is Nano. In addition to this file, the Text Files category includes 440 related files. Nano Temporary Save Format appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Windows. The main program that supports this format is GNU Nano. This was created by GNU Project. Alternatively, you can use 4 other programs. Wolfenstein, Doom 3, Quake 4, Prey will apply when it is not possible to use GNU Nano.
How to open SAVE file?
An often recurring problem with Nano Temporary Save Format is that SAVE is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file SAVE 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 SAVE 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 GNU Nano
In this case, you should first verify that the GNU Nano application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name GNU Nano 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 SAVE files.
Programs to open SAVE file
Remember to download programs supporting SAVE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GNU Nano with SAVE files
If, despite the installed application, the SAVE file does not start in the GNU Nano application, you must create a file association. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SAVE file with the GNU Nano application.
Step 3. Update GNU Nano to the latest version
If, however, after binding GNU Nano with Nano Temporary Save Format 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 GNU Project website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SAVE 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SAVE 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SAVE file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SAVE 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 SAVE 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SAVE files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Nano help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SAVE 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SAVE to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SAVE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SAVE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
