I'm working with a file that is "
being used by another process" according to HxD, however I only need to
view the file in the editor and watch as the file updates itself. Every time I open the file it gives me this error:
Code: Select all
---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
Cannot open file "X:\abc.xxx" for read access. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
---------------------------
Retry Cancel
---------------------------
Other programs have no problem accessing the file, even when in use (e.g. Notepad++), and another hex editor (XVI32) gives a similar error but allowed for opening in Read-only. I can't even use the Read-only option in HxD's file open dialog for this. It would really be useful to be able to view the contents of this file when in use..
Also, another feature request: Live refreshing. HxD currently only updates when the window is in focus, but it would be useful for it to update constantly as the file is modified while in read-only.
