How to open ZIB file?

An often recurring problem with ZX-Editor Graphic Library is that ZIB is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file ZIB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZIB 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 ZX-Editor

In this case, you should first verify that the ZX-Editor application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ZX-Editor into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file ZIB.

Programs to open ZIB file

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

Step 2. Create association of ZX-Editor with ZIB files

If, despite the installed application, the ZIB file does not start in the ZX-Editor application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ZIB file with the ZX-Editor application.

Step 3. Update ZX-Editor to the latest version

If, despite the association of the ZX-Editor program with the ZX-Editor Graphic Library 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 ZX-Modules website and install the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the ZIB file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ZIB or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ZIB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ZIB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ZIB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ZX-Modules, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ZIB files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. It is best to move ZIB to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the ZIB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the ZIB file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
