How to open ZIMAA file?
An often recurring problem with Kiwix Data Format is that ZIMAA is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open ZIMAA, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZIMAA 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 Kiwix
In this case, you should first verify that the Kiwix application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Kiwix into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ZIMAA with Kiwix. Below is a list of programs that support the file ZIMAA.
Programs to open ZIMAA file
Remember to download programs supporting ZIMAA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Kiwix with ZIMAA files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ZIMAA file still does not use the Kiwix program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Kiwix application as the default for handling the ZIMAA file.
Step 3. Update Kiwix to the latest version
If, however, after binding Kiwix with Kiwix Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZIMAA file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ZIMAA 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ZIMAA file. However, remember that not every infected ZIMAA 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 ZIMAA 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ZIMAA file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ZIMAA 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. It is best to move ZIMAA to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ZIMAA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZIMAA to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZIMAA file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
