What is TILE file?

The TILE file has been categorized as Graphic Files. Graphic Files consists of 524 similar files. Eclipse Image appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use XnView to handle this file. This is a program created by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet.

How to open TILE file?

The main problem with Eclipse Image is that the TILE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file TILE to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TILE 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 XnView

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XnView is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name XnView 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 TILE with XnView. Below you will find a list of applications that support TILE files.

Programs to open TILE file

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

Step 2. Create association of XnView with TILE files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TILE file still does not use the XnView program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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 TILE file with the XnView program.

Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version

If, despite the association of the XnView program with the Eclipse Image 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 Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet website and install the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the TILE file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 TILE file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TILE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TILE file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TILE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TILE 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move TILE to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TILE file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
