Tips to open TN1 file
Can't open the TN1 file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open TN1 files as well as a list of programs that support TN1 files.
TN1 file extension
The TN1 file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the TN1 files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the TN1 file on each system platform.
What is TN1 file?
The file in the TN1 format belongs to the Raster Image Files category. It was designed by Atari. Raster Image Files consists of 522 similar files. Tiny Low Resolution Image is most often found on 3 operating systems. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use XnView to handle this file. This is a program created by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet. Alternatively, you can use 2 other programs.
How to open TN1 file?
The most common problem when using Tiny Low Resolution Image is that a specific TN1 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open TN1, 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 TN1 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. This can be achieved by typing XnView 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 TN1 with XnView. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TN1 files.
Programs to open TN1 file
Remember to download programs supporting TN1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with TN1 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TN1 file to open in the XnView 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TN1 file with the XnView program.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
If, however, after binding XnView with Tiny Low Resolution Image there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TN1 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The TN1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TN1 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TN1 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TN1 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TN1 file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TN1 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Atari
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TN1 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 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. It is best to move TN1 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the TN1 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
