How to open WC file?
An often recurring problem with Total Commander Format Tree Info is that WC is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file WC 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 WC 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 Total Commander
In this case, you should first verify that the Total Commander application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Total Commander 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 WC with Total Commander. Below is a list of programs that support the file WC.
Programs to open WC file
Remember to download programs supporting WC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Total Commander with WC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WC file to open in the Total Commander application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 Total Commander application as the default for handling the WC file.
Step 3. Update Total Commander to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Total Commander program, it is possible that Total Commander Format Tree Info requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Ghisler Software GmbH website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The WC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to WC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 WC or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 WC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Ghisler Software GmbH
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WC 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 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 WC to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WC file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WC file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
