It is recommended to use Yar to handle this file. This is a program created by Ryan Holmes.
How to open YMT file?
The most common problem when using Yar Material Format is that a specific YMT is not associated with the program. This causes the file YMT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the YMT 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 Yar
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Yar is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Yar in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open YMT files.
Programs to open YMT file
Remember to download programs supporting YMT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Yar with YMT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the YMT file still does not use the Yar program, it means no 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the YMT file with the Yar application.
Step 3. Update Yar to the latest version
If, however, after binding Yar with Yar Material Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Ryan Holmes website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the YMT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The YMT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the YMT file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the YMT file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected YMT 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 YMT file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular YMT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file YMT 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the YMT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the YMT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
