What is SDG file?
The SDG file has been categorized as Raster Image Files. The author of this format is Oracle Corporation. Additionally, the Raster Image Files category contains 522 of other files. StarOffice Gallery Image Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use StarOffice to handle this file. This is a program created by Oracle Corporation. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs. XnView will apply when it is not possible to use StarOffice.
How to open SDG file?
The main problem with StarOffice Gallery Image Format is that the SDG file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that SDG files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SDG 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 StarOffice
The first step is to check if the computer has the StarOffice program installed. This can be achieved by typing StarOffice into the operating system search engine. 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 SDG files.
Programs to open SDG file
Remember to download programs supporting SDG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of StarOffice with SDG files
If, despite the installed application, the SDG file does not start in the StarOffice 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 SDG file with the StarOffice application.
Step 3. Update StarOffice to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the StarOffice program, it is possible that StarOffice Gallery Image Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Oracle Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SDG file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SDG file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. 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 SDG file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SDG 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 SDG 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SDG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Oracle Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SDG 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 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 SDG file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SDG 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. However, some background programs may block the SDG file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
