What is TCS file?

The TCS file has been categorized as Archive Files. The author of this format is Lennert Ploeger. In addition to this file, the Archive Files category includes 619 related files. TreeComp Snapshot is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The TreeComp application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Lennert Ploeger.

How to open TCS file?

The main problem with TreeComp Snapshot is that the TCS file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open TCS, 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 TCS 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 TreeComp

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TreeComp is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name TreeComp 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 TCS with TreeComp. Below is a list of programs that support the file TCS.

Programs to open TCS file

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

Step 2. Create association of TreeComp with TCS files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TCS file to open in the TreeComp application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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 TCS file with the TreeComp application.

Step 3. Update TreeComp to the latest version

If, despite the association of the TreeComp program with the TreeComp Snapshot 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 Lennert Ploeger website and install the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The TCS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the TCS file contents when downloading or copying. 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TCS or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TCS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of TCS 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TCS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Lennert Ploeger help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TCS 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move TCS to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TCS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the TCS file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
