What is a TMV file?

TMV files mostly belong to CaseSoft TimeMap. TMV files serve two main purposes. They can be a TimeMap project file used for constructing and managing timeline events or a document template associated with print design.
For the timeline type, these files are developed by CaseSoft. They store data such as events, dates, and metadata so that you can view and edit timeline projects. This file works with the CaseSoft TimeMap tools. More details are available at the CaseSoft website.
For the alternative use, a TMV file can be a TurboMind document or a TextMaker template file. This type is used with products like The Print Shop Deluxe and TextMaker Viewer from Broderbund. You can learn more at the Broderbund website.
Key details as outlined by FilExt.com include:
  • Purpose: It acts as a project file for timeline data or as a document template.
  • Structure: Contains organized metadata for timeline events or layout settings for print projects.
  • Applications: Open with CaseSoft TimeMap tools or TextMaker Viewer depending on the file type.
  • Usage: Determines how the information is processed for project planning or print design.
  • How can I open a TMV file?

    You need a suitable software like CaseSoft TimeMap to open a TMV file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your TMV file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a TMV file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
