How to open WSV file?

The main problem with Konica Minolta SpectraMagic Data is that the WSV file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that WSV files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WSV 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 SpectraMagic NX

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SpectraMagic NX is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name SpectraMagic NX 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 WSV.

Programs to open WSV file

Remember to download programs supporting WSV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of SpectraMagic NX with WSV files

If, despite the installed application, the WSV file does not start in the SpectraMagic NX application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 SpectraMagic NX application as the default for handling the WSV file.

Step 3. Update SpectraMagic NX to the latest version

If, however, after binding SpectraMagic NX with Konica Minolta SpectraMagic Data 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 Konica Minolta Holdings, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WSV file

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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the WSV file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WSV file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WSV 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 WSV 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WSV files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Konica Minolta Holdings, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WSV 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the WSV file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the WSV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WSV to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WSV file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
