Aquileo | byte offset display: radix, # of digits

2012-07-20T13:58:40Z

Add an option for selecting the radix of the byte offset display (that appears to the left of the data). Put it in both the Options dialog and the context menu for the byte offset display.
Add an option for selecting the number of digits in the byte offset display, including a selection for "automatic", which would use only as many digits as necessary (based on the length of the file).

Aquileo | improve font support

2012-07-20T13:48:58Z

Options should allow the use of any fixed-pitch font that's available. Even more important: allow the user to select the font size (independent of the font). Ideally, put a slider on the main window for quickly adjusting the font size.

Aquileo | Set Unicode encoding name for view

2011-10-13T19:56:03Z

Add the ability to set the set the Unicode encoding name for the view. I am working with non-ASCII documents and being able to set the encoding name would help, for example "enc-jp" for a Japanese code page.

Aquileo | 16 bit checksum

2009-11-28T22:14:04Z

The 16 bit checksum should be calculated by taking the sum of the bytes. Hexplorer does this wrong. It flips the first 2 bytes, then it flips the next 2 bytes, then it either adds or subtracts them based on what the outcome will be. This may be a good type of encryption, but it is not the proper way to calculate the checksum.

Aquileo | Extensions to Structures

2007-08-27T06:42:43Z

In the structures, also data types with a number of bytes that is not "usual" should be usable - e.g. a three-byte integer. (of course, LSB or MSB first has to be specified there too)

It also would be nice to have structs with variable length: especially for strings more flexibility would be nice. (C strings with 0 (zero) termination AND pascal strings with the length specified in another integer of any length at the beginning of the string.)

Aquileo | JPG in Pixel View

2007-08-16T10:46:29Z

If this project isn't dead it would be great if in Pixel View the JPG format could be implemented.

BTW: The Pixel View is an extremely interesting feature. I once had to help somebody getting pictures out of a damaged WinWord document (she didn't keep the original ones). I wish I had Hexplorer at that time.

Aquileo | Horizontial Scroll Bar

2007-02-09T17:56:56Z

I use this wonderful program to view saved Continuous bitstream files. The bitstream is really a collection utime interval scans of user defined data points. This program works great for this purpose. Its ability to adjust the number of displayed colums along with color adjusted value display, allows direct scan to scan field comparison and the ability to detect trends by setting one scan per line. Sometimes the length of an individual scan can be over 256 bytes. In these cases the only way to see all the data means wrapping the lines or changing the font to size where it becomes unreadable.

Thanks again for a great program.

Aquileo | Pixelview extension

2006-05-15T04:59:22Z

Opening a BMP file and using Pixel View (a very
interesting feature BTW) doesn't show the picture -
just a mess of pixels (even if the correct number of
columns is set and the correct anmount of bits per
pixel).
My guess is that the way the data is interleaved is
important too: e.g. either it is rrrrrgggggbbbbb or
rgbrgbrgbrgbrgb
So maybe there must be more options for this feature.

Aquileo | A "binary" display option?

2004-11-17T00:52:30Z

First of all, let me say thanks for the great program!

One feature I would be interested in would be the
option to display "binary" data as well as it's built
in hex display. While I do realize this is a "hex"
editor, and that you can lookup the binary value of the
hex digit very easily (under "Simple data types") I
find it more convenient sometimes to edit the binary
directly from the 1's an 0's. True, it would take up a
lot of space on the screen, but the convenience of it
would be more than worth the cost of displaying less
data on the screen.

Again, thanks for the hex editor. I use it all the
time. :D

Aquileo | shift-page down

2004-09-22T09:03:45Z

shift down adds another line to the selection = OK
shift pagedown should add another page to the selection
(handy for selecting larger portions of data)

Love your hexplorer. I was a bit reluctant because of
the name (made me think of M$ explorer) and I was
afraid it would be a windows explorer plugin or
something, but it's a standalone nice looking program !
