How to open TPDB8S file?
An often recurring problem with ThumbsPlus Data Format is that TPDB8S is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file TPDB8S to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TPDB8S 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the ThumbsPlus program installed. 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TPDB8S files.
Programs to open TPDB8S file
Remember to download programs supporting TPDB8S files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ThumbsPlus with TPDB8S files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TPDB8S file still does not use the ThumbsPlus program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 TPDB8S file with the ThumbsPlus program.
Step 3. Update ThumbsPlus to the latest version
If, however, after binding ThumbsPlus with ThumbsPlus Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Cerious Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TPDB8S file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the TPDB8S file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TPDB8S or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TPDB8S files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TPDB8S files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TPDB8S files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TPDB8S files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. Copying the TPDB8S file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TPDB8S file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TPDB8S file again. However, some background programs may block the TPDB8S file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
