The file in the THOR format belongs to the Developer Files category. In addition to this file, the Developer Files category includes 1205 related files. Thor Source Code Format appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The NotePad++ text editor application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Notepad++ Team. This file type can also be opened by 7 other programs.

How to open THOR file?

The most common problem when using Thor Source Code Format is that a specific THOR is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that THOR files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the THOR 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 NotePad++ text editor

The first step is to check if the computer has the NotePad++ text editor program installed. This can be achieved by typing NotePad++ text editor into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open THOR files.

Step 2. Create association of NotePad++ text editor with THOR files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the THOR file to open in the NotePad++ text editor 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the NotePad++ text editor application as the default for handling the THOR file.

Step 3. Update NotePad++ text editor to the latest version

If, despite the association of the NotePad++ text editor program with the Thor Source Code Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Notepad++ Team page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the THOR 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the THOR file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 THOR file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover THOR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of THOR 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular THOR file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted THOR 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move THOR 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file THOR to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the THOR file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
