How to open K3G file?

There could be multiple reasons for which the system does not support given file. In the case of K3G extension, it is probable that none of the installed programs support given file type. Therefore, user should undertake the following steps

Step 1: Install a program that supports K3G files

If an application that supports K3G files is installed on user’s system, but is not used to open such files by default, right-click on the file icon and choose "Open with" option from the menu. Next, select the proper application and check the "Always use the selected application to open this kind of files" box. The system will store this information in its registry and use the selected program to open files with K3G extension by default.

For Mac OS users the procedure is analogous – open the file menu by right-clicking on the K3G file and choose "Information" option and select "Open with program" option. From the submenu select an application and click on "Change all" button.

Should that be the case, user needs to download and install one of the following applications. Once installed, the system will automatically associate newly installed application with K3G files. If this step fails, see step 1.
