Hex Workshop v4.22

New Features

Bitfield Support

The Structure Viewer now supports 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit bitfields. A bitfield as defined by the C language allows users to modify and manipulate data without manually counting, shifting, or masking bits.

Export Enhancements

Users can now specify the data type length when exporting data as C source or Java source. 8, 16, 32, and 64 bit data types and byte swapping are also supported.

Hex Workshop can now be used to export data in the Base64 and UUEncoding formats. Copy-As support is also available.

The Export As dialog now contains a button to modify export preferences. This allows users to more easily change their export preferences.

Bookmark Enhancements

Bookmarks are now easier to use and more useful. The result of selecting or double-clicking a bookmark is different:

• Selecting bookmark: Scrolls the bookmark into view without changing the cursor position.
• Double-clicking bookmark's address: Moves the cursor position to the bookmark's address.
• Double-clicking length: Selects the bookmark data within the editor.
• Double-clicking bookmark's description: Allows you to edit the description in place.
• Double-clicking bookmark's value: If a data type was supplied, allows you to edit the data in place.

Offset Column Enhancements

Users can now modify the starting offset and view file offsets in terms of bytes (default), number of words (bytes/2), or dwords (bytes/4). The offset display is controlled by right clicking on the address column of the hex display.

Other Features and Enhancements

The Results Window has new "Output" tab to aid in development of structure definitions. Debugging information and errors are displayed in the "Output" window whenever a user opens a new structure definition file.

The Structure Viewer's right-click popup menu now contains menu entries for "Copy" and "Edit".

F2 may now be used to begin editing the selected structure viewer value.

Ctrl+C now copies values to the clipboard from the Data Inspector and Structure Viewer.
