Post Description

The Hex Workshop Hex Editor is a set of hexadecimal development tools for Microsoft Windows, combining advanced binary editing with the ease and flexibility of a word processor. With Hex Workshop you can edit, cut, copy, paste, insert, and delete hex, print customizable hex dumps, and export to RTF or HTML for publishing. Additionally, you can find, replace, compare, add smart bookmarks, and generate character distributions within a sector or file. Hex Workshop supports drag-and-drop and is integrated with the Windows operating system so you can quickly and easily hex edit from your most frequently used workspaces. The Data Inspector is perfect for interpreting, viewing, and editing decimal and binary values. An Integrated Structure Viewer allows you to view and edit data in the most intuitive and convenient way.

Hex Workshop v6.7.2 - September 2012
-------------------------------
ENHANCEMENTS
- Users can now define enums inline of a structure definition.
- An enum may now be embedded within a bitfield. Some limitations apply, see online help for more information.
- Users may now view and edit bitfields in both decimal and hex. Previously, users were limited to decimal.
- The Tools menu includes menu options to apply bookmarks and structures to selected Find All Instance find results.
- Users can more easily swap the source and target comparison files using a new "Swap" button in the Compare dialog.
- The Fonts and Filters preference settings dialog now supports deleting user-created character filters.
- One can now defined keyboard shortcuts to regenerate and clear checksums. Resetting keyboard shortcuts may be required to take advantage of these additions.
- The version check feature provides more information including the latest available versions both under and out of maintenance.

BUG FIXES
- Highlighting rectangles are now displayed in the hex area of the editor regardless of "Flip Bytes in Editor" setting when viewing data grouped by a single byte. Highlighting rectangles are not supported when grouping by 2 or more bytes with byte flipping enabled.
- The popup Goto dialog now sets the focus to the address/offset control instead of the OK button.
- Online help now includes descriptions of the filepos and filelength bookmark variables.
- Visual checkmarks used to indicate state (i.e. displayed columns, data inspector data types) are now shown properly.
- Users can now modify 32 and 64 bit bitfields in the structure viewer. Previously, only the first byte of the bitfield was applied.
- When double clicking on the caret and cursor positions on the Hex Workshop status bar, a binary representation of the address is now placed on the clipboard using the correct byte order.
- Hex columns within the structure viewer are consistently displayed and editable using Big Endian byte ordering (1 == 0x0001).
- The Data Visualizer did not display properly when opening a file with a fixed length column width (as opposed to Fit To Window).
