How to open YAODL file?
An often recurring problem with PowerFlip 3D Image Format is that YAODL is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open YAODL, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the YAODL 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 PowerFlip
In this case, you should first verify that the PowerFlip application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name PowerFlip 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 YAODL.
Programs to open YAODL file
Remember to download programs supporting YAODL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PowerFlip with YAODL files
If, despite the installed application, the YAODL file does not start in the PowerFlip 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. 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 PowerFlip application as the default for handling the YAODL file.
Step 3. Update PowerFlip to the latest version
If, despite the association of the PowerFlip program with the PowerFlip 3D Image Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Silicon Graphics International page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the YAODL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The YAODL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the YAODL file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file YAODL or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover YAODL 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 YAODL file. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair YAODL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Silicon Graphics help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file YAODL 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.
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. Copying the YAODL file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the YAODL 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.
