#30 Fixed display width of 2^N
Hex Edit Control should have fixed width of 2^N (power of 2). Custom hex formatting alone is not enough, since number of columns is still determined by window width (it seems). Also, changing window width does change number of columns being displayed, which is - at least for me - undesirable.
Built svn-trunk on Kubuntu 9.10 (Karmic).
Hi Tobias.
Fixed width of 2^N is not optimal solution I think because some users may require custom width.
But could add a "byte limit" factor that could be changed by user.
So user could limit byte count for per line.
But again, if there is not enough space for X byte (for example 8), byte count has to be reduced (to 7 or 6...).
It sounds like a good solution for me.
Hello Erdem,
thanks for your reply. I can only speak for myself, but I would prefer a fixed with with horizontal scrollbar rather than than “counting”. Especially when working with padding (C structures, some containers, disk sectors etc). But I don’t want to start a flame war about it.
Regards,
Tobias

Hi Tobias,
I add Bytes Per Line Limit option to preferences panel.
You can test it. Also I add beautiful CP473 to Unicode translation.
You'd better to use svn-trunk.
Regards.
Great! I will try out as soon as I’m back to work!
Thanks,
Tobias

#30Hi,
sorry for the late reply. Fixed width works well, however, I noticed something else: If you do not add a trailing space in custom hex format, the result might not be what the user wishes and might lead to confusion in the first place....
E.g. “xxxx xxxx” will lead to “0001 02030405 06070809 0A0B”.
Regards,
Tobias
