How to open YMAP file?
The main problem with MindGenius Computer Aided Thinking Format is that the YMAP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open YMAP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the YMAP 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 MindGenius
In this case, you should first verify that the MindGenius application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name MindGenius in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support YMAP files.
Programs to open YMAP file
Remember to download programs supporting YMAP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MindGenius with YMAP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the YMAP file to open in the MindGenius application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MindGenius application as the default for handling the YMAP file.
Step 3. Update MindGenius to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the MindGenius program, it is possible that MindGenius Computer Aided Thinking Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the MindGenius Ltd. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the YMAP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to YMAP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our YMAP file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover YMAP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the YMAP 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair YMAP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use MindGenius Ltd. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file YMAP 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the YMAP file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the YMAP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the YMAP 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.
