How to open TPT file?
An often recurring problem with ThumbsPlus Thumbnail Template is that TPT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file TPT 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 TPT 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 we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TPT with ThumbsPlus. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TPT files.
Programs to open TPT file
Remember to download programs supporting TPT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ThumbsPlus with TPT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TPT 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ThumbsPlus application as the default for handling the TPT file.
Step 3. Update ThumbsPlus to the latest version
If, however, after binding ThumbsPlus with ThumbsPlus Thumbnail Template 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 TPT 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 TPT file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TPT file. However, remember that not every infected TPT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of TPT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TPT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Cerious Software, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TPT 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move TPT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the TPT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TPT file again. However, some background programs may block the TPT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
