The .ENF file extension is used to store EndNote Filter Files, which are related to EndNote, a citation software application owned by Clarivate Analytics. This particular file type is categorized as a Settings File, and was first introduced by Clarivate Analytics for version 8.1 of EndNote. The purpose of an EndNote Filter File is to enable users of the software to save and export library filtering options.
Technical Details
An .ENF file consists of plain text saved in the Unix-style line-ending format, so it can be opened with any text-editing program. However, since they contain information related to how EndNote behaves when exporting or importing library filtering options, they are best accessed directly through the associated application. Similar file types include:
Storing and Sharing ENF Files
EndNote typically stores these files within the Library folder on Windows computers, while they are saved inside ‘User’ folder on macOS systems. EndNote Filter Files can be shared among other users of the software, either via removable media or over a network connection. To make sure the receiver of the file can open it correctly, they should have <-softEndNote version 8.1 or higher installed on their computer.
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ENF) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ENF extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ENF file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ENF extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ENF extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ENF file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ENF file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ENF file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ENF file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ENF file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
