How to open TCB file?

The most common problem when using Tokyo Cabinet TBZIP is that a specific TCB is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that TCB 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 TCB 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 Tokyo Cabinet

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Tokyo Cabinet is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Tokyo Cabinet into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TCB with Tokyo Cabinet. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TCB files.

Programs to open TCB file

Remember to download programs supporting TCB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Tokyo Cabinet with TCB files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TCB file still does not use the Tokyo Cabinet program, it means no 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Tokyo Cabinet application as the default for handling the TCB file.

Step 3. Update Tokyo Cabinet to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Tokyo Cabinet program, it is possible that Tokyo Cabinet TBZIP requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the FAL Labs website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TCB file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the TCB file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TCB file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TCB 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 TCB 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TCB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact FAL Labs
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TCB 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move TCB to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TCB file again. However, some background programs may block the TCB file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
