How to open SNF file?
The main problem with Starry Night Document is that the SNF file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SNF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SNF 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 Starry Night
In this case, you should first verify that the Starry Night application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Starry Night into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SNF with Starry Night. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SNF files.
Programs to open SNF file
Remember to download programs supporting SNF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Starry Night with SNF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SNF file to open in the Starry Night application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SNF file with the Starry Night program.
Step 3. Update Starry Night to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Starry Night program with the Starry Night Document 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 Imaginova Corp. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SNF 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 SNF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SNF file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SNF file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SNF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SNF 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SNF files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Imaginova Corp., 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 file SNF 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.
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. It is best to move SNF to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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.
