hachoir-wx 0.1 Initial Release (all platforms)
Features: * Lazy-loaded hex view, meaning you can view a 20GB file and memory usage will remain constant, and the GUI will remain responsive.
- Dynamic type conversion, meaning (for example) you can take a
RawBytes field of size 4 and convert it to a UInt32 for a better look at your data.
- Field splitting, meaning you can take a RawBytes range and split it
into smaller ranges. This feature in conjunction with dynamic type conversion allows you to explore unknown binary formats more easily.
- Field view that allows you to browse a binary file just like a
directory.
- Minor stuff like hex/dec view of addresses, absolute/relative field
offsets, auto-resizing field view columns that stretch to the size of your data, etc.
- Hex view automatically scrolls to and highlights the hex data of
the currently selected field (called "marking".)
- Field dumping, meaning you can select any field inside your binary
file and save it on your hard disk for further examination/analysis/etc.
Bugs: * [All]: Field view "Merge Down" doesn't work.
- [Windows only]: Hex view only shows a ~4x5 char display of the
data. This is believed to be due to a wxWidgets bugs related to text wrapping.
- [Windows only]: Right-click context menu doesn't work.
- [Windows only]: Hex view data marking doesn't work.
- [Gtk only]: Hex view will occasionally show two scrollbars for the
hex view if you resize the very quickly. This is likely a bug in wxGtk that (for some reason) ignores the "no vertical scrollbar" directive for text controls.
