What is STDL file?
The STDL file has been categorized as Data Files. The author of this format is Dextronet. Additionally, the Data Files category contains 1326 of other files.

How to open STDL file?
The main problem with Swift To-Do List Database is that the STDL file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open STDL, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the STDL 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 Swift To-Do List
The first step is to check if the computer has the Swift To-Do List program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Swift To-Do List in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support STDL files.
Programs to open STDL file
Remember to download programs supporting STDL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Swift To-Do List with STDL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the STDL file still does not use the Swift To-Do List program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Swift To-Do List application as the default for handling the STDL file.
Step 3. Update Swift To-Do List to the latest version
If, however, after binding Swift To-Do List with Swift To-Do List Database there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the STDL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to STDL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the STDL file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover STDL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the STDL files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair STDL file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted STDL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 STDL to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the STDL file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
