The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the THR 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 Thred

Programs to open THR file
Remember to download programs supporting THR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Thred with THR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the THR file to open in the Thred application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 THR file with the Thred program.
Step 3. Update Thred to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Thred program, it is possible that Thred Embroidery Outline requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Thredworks website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the THR file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the THR file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file THR or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected THR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of THR 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular THR file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Thredworks
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file THR except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the THR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the THR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file THR to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
