This program is a small and free graphical Hex Editor for Windows
i.Hex is an intuitive and user-friendly Hex editor that can be used on any Windows computer. Small cross platform hex editor, with support for fast loading of large files.
Usage: · Open a file using the File->Open menu, the toolbar button or drop a file onto the window. If nothing happens, the file is locked by another application. · The offset is the number of bytes into the file the cursor is. You can seek to a particular offset by typing in the new value and hitting enter. · The hex option changes the format of the offset's both the cursor and the labels down the left hand side. When switched on the format is hex, and you enter an offset in hex, otherwise enter the offset in decimal. · The little endian option changes the byte order of the information at the cursor (display on the right most part of the toolbar). Little endian is the x86 processor format, big endian is Apple/Motrola order. · Signed changes the info format to signed values. · Once you have edited the document you can save your changes if you need to. If you move the cursor far enough away from the edits then you will be asked to save your changes, this is because only part of the file is in memory at any given time. This is a side effect of the implementation I used to allow any size files. · Use the Tab key to swap focus between the hex and ascii pane. The pane with the focus has a slightly thicker cursor line.
Here are some key features of "i.Hex":
· Doesn't load all the file at once. Just a pane of 64K is loaded at any given time, thus it can edit/view very large files almost instantly. · Recent file menu. · Doesn't use the registry.
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Added function to fill the selection with crypto strength random bytes. (With progress bar in MB/s!) · Added Edit menu, moved the find/findnext commands to it, added "Copy", "Paste" and "Select All" as well. · [Win32] Fixed the find window not putting the focus on the first edit control. · Added find in files functionality. · Added copy as hex method which converts the selection to hex and copies to the clipboard. As opposed the normal "copy" which copies as binary or text depending on the content of the selection. · Moved a bunch of string into the resource file which makes them translatable. · Added a "language" menu to change the translation, including a link to the webpage that describes how to translate LGI apps.
