How to open WVL file?
The main problem with Wavelet Image is that the WVL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file WVL 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 WVL 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 DjVu
In this case, you should first verify that the DjVu application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing DjVu into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file WVL.
Programs to open WVL file
Remember to download programs supporting WVL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DjVu with WVL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WVL file to open in the DjVu 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WVL file with the DjVu program.
Step 3. Update DjVu to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the DjVu program, it is possible that Wavelet Image requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WVL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The WVL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to WVL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WVL file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected WVL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WVL 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.
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 WVL file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WVL 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move WVL to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WVL file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
