Done: HxD: Text only/Hex only view

Hi,

I would be really nice to have HxD have an option to show or hide the Hex portion or Text portion. I have a really large text file (1.6GB) where I am only interested in the Text portion. There are very few editors capable of loading the file but HxD opens it just great. The only problem is I can't hide the Hex portion and only view with the Text portion.

Thanks

Dean

Hi Dean,

I could add this feature. However text would still be displayed as a "block", i.e. linebreaks will not be displayed like in text editors, so reading large parts of text could become difficult.

Is that okay for you?

I was waiting to get an email from the forums saying there was a reply :). That would be cool. It would be sufficient to make out the majority of what is going on.

Hm, I looked up your configuration, e-mail notification is active. Perhaps you unchecked it when composing your message.
Did it work this time?

What do you mean by that? I don't understand.

Ouch, this was my fault. I put the wrong email address in.

I meant that even with the "block" it would be enough to read the text to see what was happening in the file.

Thanks
