Re: Pasting Unicode text as "unmodified" hex bytes

Thank you for the follow-ups. Very appreciated. Bearing in mind that the clipboard has different formats, if the goal is to analyze "Unicode text", I would be happy with the definition/choice of "whatever Notepad would paste is what I mean". Your proposed "Paste raw" op...

Re: Text column support for UTF-8, UTF-16 and other multi-byte text encodings (variable width encodings)

Ah, I did not know about the smiley at 0x01 :) So the silent replacement of unencodable characters by 0x00 is fine? Not really. My layperson expectation is that the hex data is "sacred", i.e. the clipboard bytes should go into the Hex view as they are, without replacement (especially not s...

Re: Text column support for UTF-8, UTF-16 and other multi-byte text encodings (variable width encodings)

Thanks for the fast response. You have me confused now :) Why does the smiley face even show correctly as "DOS/IBM-ASCII", and why does its code appear as 0x01 in the Hex view? My layperson view is that "DOS/IBM-ASCII" should be the same as "Windows (ANSI)": if the char...

Pasting Unicode text as "unmodified" hex bytes

I can understand that rendering Unicode text in the Text column is complex, however the fact that pasting Unicode text shows as all "00"s in the Hex column is counterintuitive. It might help if at least the Hex data reflected the Unicode codes that were in the clipboard. In my specific cas...

Split/merge odd/even

I often work with ROMs and EPROMs where the data is split in odd/even bytes across two chips. Depending on whether I work with dumps or whether I need to generate the data, I need to merge or split. Extras/File tools already has Concatenate... and Split... tools. It would be great if this could be e...

Delete bytes

I'd like to have an option to Delete bytes, like there is one to Insert bytes.

Ideally it would allow you to specify x bytes also from the beginning or the end of the file, and with an option to apply to all open files (similar to the request filed under Search & Replace for All files).

Re: Search & Replace for All files

I have the exact same wish. The Replace dialog even has some free space to the left of Search direction to fit in something like this: Scope: [ ] Selection [x] Active file [ ] All files Could then also be applied to Find. Actually, I like dialogs where you can switch between the Find and Replace tab...
