Step 2. Create association of SimpleDict Dictionary with XDXF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XDXF file to open in the SimpleDict Dictionary 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type.

If, despite the association of the SimpleDict Dictionary program with the XML Dictionary EXchange Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SourceForge.net website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XDXF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to XDXF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XDXF file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected XDXF 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 XDXF 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XDXF file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file XDXF 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move XDXF to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XDXF to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XDXF file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
