How to open TDP file?

The main problem with Sherif DrawPlus Thumbnail is that the TDP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open TDP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TDP 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 DrawPlus

The first step is to check if the computer has the DrawPlus program installed. This can be achieved by typing DrawPlus 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 TDP with DrawPlus. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TDP files.

Programs to open TDP file

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

Step 2. Create association of DrawPlus with TDP files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TDP file still does not use the DrawPlus program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TDP file with the DrawPlus program.

Step 3. Update DrawPlus to the latest version

If, despite the association of the DrawPlus program with the Sherif DrawPlus Thumbnail 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 Serif Europe Ltd. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TDP 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 TDP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TDP file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TDP or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TDP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of TDP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TDP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Serif Europe Ltd. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TDP 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the TDP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the TDP 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 TDP file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
