Re: explorer integration for comparison
+1. I've mentioned this elsewhere , and also described the problem with how HxD currently loads via the Explorer context menu which results in the need for this (unless, of course, that problem is fixed, but this functionality would still be nice), but I didn't make a specific request for it, so dec...

Comparison results child window gets lost after switching away from HxD
When running a comparison on identical files, if you switch to another program and then HxD finishes the comparison, not only is there no indication of when it finishes the comparison, but switching back (via alt+tab or the taskbar), the results window doesn't show. You have to either alt+tab away a...

Access violation error when pressing escape in Statistics window
Title says it all. Example error:
Access violation at address 000000000040BFC5 in module 'HxD.exe'. Read of address 0000000000000000.
Seems to be the same regardless of which file(s) loaded. Doesn't cause HxD to crash, I just hit ok and carry on.

Close current child window when Alt+F4 is pressed, NOT entire program
If a child window, e.g. Statistics or the contents of a file, is opened, and Alt+F4 is pressed to close it, the entire HxD program is closed. This is unexpected and can result in lost work. The shortcut should close only the currently active window, at least optionally.

Make multiple/parallel instances compatible with opening multiple files via context menu
Currently, if the option to allow multiple parallel instances of HxD is enabled (which I prefer, so multiple file comparisons can be run at once), it breaks the opening of files via the explorer context menu. Without multiple instances enabled, if a couple files are selected in explorer and opened i...

Re: Can't reproduce: Search slow
Both drives are the same model with identical specs. Maybe it's because both are in a USB 3.0 enclosure and the drive iBored was scanning got more bandwidth for whatever reason (I was scanning them simultaneously). Glad to hear it's just as fast, and my situation was apparently just a fluke. Thanks ...

Can't reproduce: Search slow
I've had searches running on a couple drives for half the day today, one with HxD and one with iBored, both for the same string and both on a separate 4TB drive. Despite the fact the drive iBored was searching is full and the drive HxD is scanning is empty (ok, not really empty, just freshly quick-f...

Re: Comparison improvement: Synchronized scrolling and difference highlighting
I agree 100% with this, and have been meaning to post something similar for a while. I also often do file comparisons and, as much as I love HxD, I prefer to use WinMerge whenever possible due to how it works in comparison. Unfortunately, it crashes when trying to compare files larger than ~100MB. B...

Re: Feature Requests: Toolbar & Shortcut Customization + Option to skip file selection dialog when comparing
Thanks The problem was that I was just googling "hxd" and clicking the link to the HxD page, skipping the main page. I'm guessing you've just added it to the HxD page, since I see it there now.

Feature Requests: Toolbar & Shortcut Customization + Option to skip file selection dialog when comparing
I see talk of a v2.0 over the past couple years or so, but I don't see it available as a download. Is it just a really long work in progress? Second, I want to thank the dev of this incredible program, which is not only a fantastic hex editor, but by far the best file comparison tool I've found, abl...
