Done: HxD: Value-Editor
Posted: 24 Apr 2008 19:03
Hi all,
Editing a binary file with a hex-editor is mostly searching for values. You know that.
While the search function is a big help finding values you already know, a feature for showing values (for example at the current pointer position) is missing.
I tought about something similar like the value-editor in TinyHexer:
You select the type of variable you are searching for (for example a 'Long Word' with 32 bit), and every time you are changing the position of the cursor, it is showing you the value and highlights the position.
It would be perfect if you could also select the radix to show the variable in hexadecimal or decimal.
Also very handy: By clicking the arrows you can jump for- or backward.
A single bit [>], or to the end of the current variable [>>].
Other types of variables could be:
What do you think?
