Comments

Some limit is expected but 14 seems too short. A limit around 256 characters would be more appropriate in my opinion.

On my Windows 7 64-bit system, 2.0.6.49 crashes any time I attempt to do Find Hex if the string is not present in the window's current view:

My file is binary, 200KiB. Doing Find Hex on a string that does appear in the current display works fine. I tried both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions of the app.

i am using Hexedit 2.0.6.49 amd64 on Win7 64bit

the bookmark view does not show newly created bookmarks.
Sometimes after a restart the bookmarks from the last session appear in that list but i have not found a way to remove them since the delete item does not do anything.
Adding bookmarks in a new opened file results in duplicating the old entry from the file of the last session.

detailed Steps (from the first time i tried to use bookmarks):

• opened hexedit (no bookmarks present)
• opened a file
• selected some text and used context menu/bookmark
  • added some text
  • clicked ok
    • --> text background changed
    • --> nothing other happened (no annotation box, no bookmark entry)
• tried to add some other bookmarks
  --> again only background color changes
• closed hexedit
• opened hex
  --> the last file is shown in the bookmark view with some bookmarks assigned.
  - the bookmarks seem to work properly, but are not removable
  (neither by delete, nor by clicking the cross in the annotation box)
• opened new file
• selected some text and used context menu/bookmark
  • added some text
  • clicked ok
    • --> text background changed
    • --> annotation box appears
    • --> a node for the current file is added to the bookmark view, but no sub nodes are added
    • --> all nodes from previous sessions were duplicated. (including sub nodes)
• closed hexedit
• opened hex
  --> the last file is shown in the bookmark view with the sub nodes
  --> the duplicated nodes are not present anymore
  --> still no bookmark is removable

Also a minor issue: the bookmark tool bar button state goes out of synch if menu item is used to toggle window visibility state.

HexView\HexViewDraw.cpp\541Line: IdentifySearchPatterns

while((ptr = (BYTE *)memchr(ptr, m_pSearchPat[0], len)) != 0)

I think it should be:
while((ptr = (BYTE *)memchr(ptr, m_pSearchPat[0], len-(ptr-data))) != 0)

hi, a while ago I searched for hex editors here on github using the appropriate tags. I wasn't able to find this one though, because it doesnt have any. I think it would be nice to add some tags so that other people can more easily find this program. and some screenshots too

If you change into insert mode, you can't insert any binary value correctly!

It seems that you comment the below lines: HexViewKeyboard.cpp Line 467

if(m_nSubItem > 0)
{
b = m_pDataSeq->getlastmodref();
}

Hello, I don't understand your “Building HexEdit” of architecture in "readme.md". How to compile and use "hexedit" on Linux x86 or CentOS.

Windows 8.1 (full updates)
HexEdit 2.0.6.49

Open a file, Click Tools menu, select Options item.
Change Font dropdown to any value (I chose Consolas, then BatangChe, and Book Antiqua).

The Apply button never becomes enabled.
Pressing OK closes the Options dialog window, but does not apply the new option values.

The option "Use Address Information when pasting Data" affects the import of Intel Hex data, so should not read "when pasting Data".
Also, not checking that option results in incorrect output with Intel Hex files that contain discontinous data, as everything apparently just gets appended.

HexView/sequence.cpp 334 line:

MoveFileEx(newname, origfile_name, MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING|MOVEFILE_COPY_ALLOWED);

This function will always be unsuccessful. Because you didn't close the handle of current file.

i tested HexEdit on Win10-64bit
but is there many force close, it is intermittent problem, but also a simply search crash the program.

Currently, when downloading either the 64-bit or 32-bit versions of 2.0.6.49, you get a file like hexedit-amd64-2.0.6.49.zip, but it's not actually a ZIP file, and won't open. I ran the Cygwin 'file' command on the supposed ZIP, and found that it was an HTML file, so I renamed it to .html, and opened that, and I got a saved Internet Archive page that initiated download of the proper .zip file(s). Dunno if other browsers behave differently, but I'm using Firefox.
