How to open TP_CATALOG file?

The most common problem when using ThumbsPlus Catalog Scheme Format is that a specific TP_CATALOG is not associated with the program. This causes the file TP_CATALOG 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 TP_CATALOG 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 ThumbsPlus

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ThumbsPlus is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ThumbsPlus into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TP_CATALOG files.

Programs to open TP_CATALOG file

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

Step 2. Create association of ThumbsPlus with TP_CATALOG files

If, despite the installed application, the TP_CATALOG file does not start in the ThumbsPlus 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TP_CATALOG file with the ThumbsPlus program.

Step 3. Update ThumbsPlus to the latest version

If, despite the association of the ThumbsPlus program with the ThumbsPlus Catalog Scheme 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 Cerious Software, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TP_CATALOG 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 TP_CATALOG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TP_CATALOG file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TP_CATALOG or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected TP_CATALOG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TP_CATALOG 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TP_CATALOG file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TP_CATALOG 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 TP_CATALOG to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
