How to open WDX file?
The most common problem when using Total Commander Content Plugin is that a specific WDX is not associated with the program. This causes the file WDX 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 WDX 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the Total Commander program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Total Commander in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support WDX files.
Programs to open WDX file
Remember to download programs supporting WDX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Total Commander with WDX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WDX file to open in the Total Commander application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Total Commander application as the default for handling the WDX file.
Step 3. Update Total Commander to the latest version
If, however, after binding Total Commander with Total Commander Content Plugin there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 WDX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the WDX file contents when downloading or copying. 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WDX file. Sometimes virus-infected WDX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WDX file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WDX files. 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 file WDX except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the WDX file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the WDX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WDX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
