Hexie : Project status

Comments and bug reports may be mailed to: michael at zahniser dot net.

• Improvements that I may make in the future:
  • If a file with a recognized extension is loaded (.tif, .bmp, etc.) automatically format that file.
  • Support Unicode data: UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32. My home-brewed text output library only supports the standard ASCII characters right now, but at the very least I could display the character indices.
  • Upload the code to Google Code and make the program available in binary form.
  • Support drag-and-drop of files into the Hexie window (currently only drag-and-drop onto the application icon works). This is complicated because it must be implemented separately for each target OS.
  • Provide an Open File dialog. Again, this will require different code for each OS.
  • Provide an in-program help viewer in addition to the external documentation.
• Known bugs:
  • none.
• Changes:
  • 0.8.1: Fixed a bug where the program would hang on some files when scrolled to the end of the file.
    Closing the window now saves the markup (the same as Ctrl-Q or Cmd-Q).
    New command: <escape> quits Hexie without saving markup.
  • 0.8: First released version.
