How to open X-PNG file?

An often recurring problem with Portable (Public) Network Graphic Bitmap is that X-PNG is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file X-PNG 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 X-PNG 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 Artweaver

The first step is to check if the computer has the Artweaver program installed. To do this, enter the name Artweaver into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open X-PNG files.

Programs to open X-PNG file

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

Step 2. Create association of Artweaver with X-PNG files

If, despite the installed application, the X-PNG file does not start in the Artweaver application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the X-PNG file with the Artweaver application.

Step 3. Update Artweaver to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Artweaver program, it is possible that Portable (Public) Network Graphic Bitmap requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Boris Eyrich website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the X-PNG 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to X-PNG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file X-PNG or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover X-PNG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of X-PNG 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair X-PNG file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Boris Eyrich
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted X-PNG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the X-PNG file to another location.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the X-PNG file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
