New Structure Viewer allows you to view and edit data in the most
convenient and intuitive way. This helps turn the art of hex
editing into a simple straightforward task. Structures are defined
in a text file and closely resemble the C/C++-style struct
definition. Many atomic data types are supported along with the
ability to nest structures.

|
New Bookmarks Feature helps you pick apart and label a data
file for a single use or to share with friends and co-workers.
When defining a bookmark, you can set the bookmark's data type and
then edit the bookmark's data directly in the bookmark viewer. You
can even use a simple macro language when defining bookmark
addresses and lengths. This allows for powerful "smart" bookmarks
that are portable across like files.

New Color Mapping Feature helps you visually find patterns,
add visual cues, and de-emphasize uninteresting data. Users can set
the foreground and background colors used to display data for any
hexadecimal string.

|
|
New Custom Character Filters allow you to define your own
mapping between a byte of data and the text character chosen to
represent it. The character filter is also consulted when entering
characters into the text area of Hex Workshop. Mappings can be
either unidirectional or bi-directional.

New Set Floor and Set Ceiling Operations allow you to set
the lowest value or highest value within a selected range or
throughout an entire file. Signed and unsigned 8 bit, 16 bit, 32
bit, and 64 bit integers are supported along with 32 bit and 64
bit floating point values.
New Convert to Lower Case, Convert to Upper Case, and Switch
Case Operations help you manipulate ASCII text within Hex
Workshop. You can modify the case of ASCII text with a selection
or throughout an entire file. Operations include converting all
ASCII text to upper case, converting all ASCII text to lower case,
or swapping upper case characters to lower case characters and
lower case characters to upper case characters.
New Block Bit Shifting Operations allow you to shift bits
across byte, word, dword, and quad boundaries. This flavor of shifting and rotate operations
carries bits across data type binaries - An time saver if you find yourself faced with a large
block of data all shifted by a few bits.

|
New Redo Last Command allows you to Redo your last n-Undos.
By allowing you to specify the size of the undo/redo buffer under
Preferences, the number of undo/redo operations are limited only by
the amount of RAM set aside.
|
|
|
New Copy Sectors Feature allows you to copy sectors between
different drives and drive partitions. This feature is incredible
useful when attempting salvage data from corrupt disk drives,
manually rebuilding drives and partitions, and cloning drives.
|
New Automatic Version Checking helps users to stay on
top of latest release of Hex Workshop. Users can choose to check
for updates manually or allow Hex Workshop to automatically check
for updates once a month. No private or sensitive information is
exchanged during version upgrade checks.
|
Enhanced Export Capabilities allow users to set the
maximum array size for C or Java export. If a user tries to export
data larger then the maximum size defined, Hex Workshop will output
multiple chunks of data into separate arrays. This feature was
added to address the a maximum array size limitation in some
compilers.
|
Enhanced Resynchronizing Compare adds color to the Hex
Workshop display area for compared files. Users can now visually
see matches, insertions, deletions, and replacements in
user-definable foreground and background colors.
Enhanced Find All in File adds color to Hex Workshop by
display all instances of the last search string in a user defined
foreground and background color. This allows you to easy and
quickly scroll through a file and focus on your search results.
