How to open XMMAP file?

An often recurring problem with MindManager XML Map Format is that XMMAP is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file XMMAP 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 XMMAP 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 Mindjet

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

Programs to open XMMAP file

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

Step 2. Create association of Mindjet with XMMAP files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XMMAP file to open in the Mindjet application, but you can set it manually. 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 set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XMMAP file with the Mindjet program.

Step 3. Update Mindjet to the latest version

If, however, after binding Mindjet with MindManager XML Map Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The XMMAP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XMMAP file. 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XMMAP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected XMMAP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XMMAP files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XMMAP file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XMMAP 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the XMMAP file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XMMAP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
