How to open TOX file?
The main problem with Touch Component is that the TOX file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open TOX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TOX 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 Derivative TouchDesigner
The first step is to check if the computer has the Derivative TouchDesigner program installed. This can be achieved by typing Derivative TouchDesigner 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. Below you will find a list of applications that support TOX files.
Programs to open TOX file
Remember to download programs supporting TOX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Derivative TouchDesigner with TOX files
If, despite the installed application, the TOX file does not start in the Derivative TouchDesigner application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Derivative TouchDesigner application as the default for handling the TOX file.
Step 3. Update Derivative TouchDesigner to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Derivative TouchDesigner program, it is possible that Touch Component requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Derivative page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TOX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to TOX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TOX file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TOX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TOX files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TOX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Derivative help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TOX 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the TOX file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TOX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TOX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
