BinFileEdit 3.2 - Fully functional Hex Editor I have used several Hex Editors over the years. They all did the same thing but they also seemed to each lack some functionality I needed. I found this Hex Editor here on VBC created by Herman C. Liu which I liked. It had the ability to print pages, had working search and goto, and was much faster than most at opening files and scrolling, so it seemed like a good starting point. I began to add features I wanted that it didn't have, and refined its behavior, and is now a very useful tool. Features include: Edit as Hex, Ascii, Binary or characters. Type directly from the keyboard just like any other editor. Search by Hex values or characters. Undo all changes. Open very large files quickly. Responsive scrolling, doesn't stall or stutter even on large files. Select multiple hex bytes/characters and copy to clipboard. Open multiple files including drag-and-drop. Like I said, Hex Editors all do basically the same thing, and this is not much different. However, it does everything I have ever needed from a Hex Editor, and more. For example, enter a Hex or Ascii value to get the Binary, or vice-versa. I find this Hex Editor by Herman Liu to be extremely handy when I need it, and thought others might appreciate it also. Bug reports and suggestions for improvement welcome. BinFileEdit remains copyright Herman C. Liu. 3.1 update improved Insert/Edit behavior. Fit long file paths within Titlebar width. 3.2 update fixed minor bugs.
