What is a QXT file?

QXT files mostly belong to Qt Linguist. QXT files are used in various contexts and their purpose depends on the originating application.
For the most common case, these files are an encrypted file format used as a Qt Linguist Translation File. In this scenario the file holds translation data for software projects developed with the Qt framework and the encryption helps protect sensitive language content.
Other uses include:
  • Financial/Multimedia Data: Some QXT files are identified as Quicken Transaction Files or files for SuperCollider Quartz Composer. These contain structured information related to financial transactions or commands used within multimedia compositions.
  • Publishing Templates: A smaller group of QXT files serve as QuarkXPress Template Files, managed by tools like QXmlEdit to define layout designs in desktop publishing.
  • FilExt.com tip: The file’s functionality is determined by the original software that created it. For more on the Qt Linguist context, visit this page.
