What to Do When a .TN File Fails to Open

TN files can originate from various programs and aren't universally openable.

2. Check the Header: Open the file in a hex viewer to inspect the first bytes:
   • PK indicates a zipped archive.
   • Magic bytes like FF D8 suggest a standard thumbnail.
   • Proprietary binary points to an LG image.
