How to open TP_META file?
The most common problem when using ThumbsPlus Metadata Format is that a specific TP_META is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that TP_META files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TP_META 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
In this case, you should first verify that the ThumbsPlus application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ThumbsPlus into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file TP_META.
Programs to open TP_META file
Remember to download programs supporting TP_META files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ThumbsPlus with TP_META files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TP_META file still does not use the ThumbsPlus 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TP_META file with the ThumbsPlus application.
Step 3. Update ThumbsPlus to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ThumbsPlus program with the ThumbsPlus Metadata Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Cerious Software, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The TP_META file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TP_META file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TP_META file. However, remember that not every infected TP_META 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_META 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TP_META file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TP_META files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move TP_META to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the TP_META file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the TP_META file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
