Hex viewer and editor for SublimeText

hexviewer's Issues

Ability to insert bytes?

I don't see the ability to add bytes to a file. You can change them, but not add them.

cannot find hexviewer in sublime text 2 package control

Non-monospace font

I get a non-monospaced font when switching to HexViewer via Ctrl+Shift+B,H.

I do not have a monospaced font in ST2 in general. See screenshot.

HexViewer: View does not exist on desk!

Hello

When attempting to switch between a ascii file to a hex view, I get the following error message.

"HexViewer: Veiw does not exist on disk!"
http://s.chipkin.com/files/2014/sep/HexViewError.PNG

This is the first packages I have installed via "package control" https://sublime.wbond.net an it may have something to do with my inexperience with package control.

Using Sublime 3, build 3065

Inspector not available

The inpector doesn't show up, either in the commante palette, and via the key binding. I'm using ST2 on Windows 8.1.

I don't know if it's related, but when I enable HexView, I get the following stack trace in the console:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".\sublime_plugin.py", line 195, in on_modified
  File ".\sublime_plugin.py", line 154, in run_timed_function

  File ".\footnotes.py", line 74, in on_modified
  File ".\footnotes.py", line 70, in update_footnote_data
IndexError: Index out of range

Feature request: Just to selected byte on toggling hex view

It would be convenient if when toggling hex view, the offset automatically jumps to the offset at which the cursor was in text view.

inspector not available

Hi, I'm on osx and sublime text 2 and I can't make the inspector showing on my screen. I removed all the other package and still didn't work.

Add further settings options

I'd like to have the ability to choose the output-format in the Hex Inspector more fine grained.

Could you add preferences, so every single output's type can be changed?
I.e.: I'd like to see DWORDs as Hex, so I changed "inspector_integer_format": "%-12s: 0x%-22X" - but now all integer values, from byte up to long long int are in the same hex-format. It should be possible to define a special output format for any of those values listed.

not using monospaced font (Sublime Text 2)

I'm on OSX 10.6 with Sublime Text 2.

This seems like a very nice tool, but an IDE is unusable if the letters are of different width.

Protect against Sublime bug on load

See facelessuser/BracketHighlighter#390.

No Hex Inspector?

Sorry, I don't know how else to contact you so feel free to close this issue. I know the ST2 branch is not really officially supported, but is the Hex Inspector just not implemented in that version, or am I missing something? It doesn't appear in the command palette and the "inspector_auto_show" option seems to have no effect.

Additional basic checksums

It would be great to have some basic maths/checksum operations which are used occasionally, like summed bytes, summed words, XOR'd bytes, etc.

EG:
summed bytes: add all bytes in the sequence with overflow.
XOR'd bytes: XOR all bytes in the sequence.

incorrect default font

Sublime Text 2.0.1.2217

Tried "custom_font" set to "none", "None" and ""

Reload file command

While Sublime keeps track of file changes in the background and automatically reloads them, HexViewer does not do so (I assume because the conversion process is rather heavy).

I suggest implementing a reload file command (that the user could map up to a hotkey if he wanted). Currently the best I can do is exit and re-enter HexViewer mode in Sublime, which forces the file to reload, but also loses my place in the file.

Set Bytes Per Line - Any value

First of all, AWESOME job with this package!

Anyway, I do Commodore 64 6502 assembly programming. I create custom maps that might have a dimension of 20x12 bytes.

It's real convenient to be able to view a complete map in the editor and see the same dimension (20 bytes per line). But I can only do 16 or 24.

What I would love to be able to do is have a custom Set Bytes Per Line for different file types.

Like if I could set *.map files to use 20 bytes per line and *.chars files to use 16 bytes per line, etc.

Thanks!

EDIT

I found that I can alter hex_viewer.py and change

VALID_BYTES = [8, 10, 16, 20, 24, 32, 48, 64, 128, 256, 512]

to include any values I want to use. This will get me by for now. :-)

How to edit?

I can't seem to figure out the edit panel. I keep trying but it keeps saying unexpected number of bytes. Can we get more intuitive hex and string editing, like the default hex view?

Export Bin not working

Am using sublime text 3 in windows 10 and when I try to use the Export Bin command, its just creating another text file with same contents in it. And I can read it with regular notepad.

Direct editing and Find&Replace

Is it possible to add a setting to directly edit (overwrite) the hex code and its ASCII text translation? Like with a normal text and you hit the "Insert"-key on your keyboard.
Also it would be nice to be able to use the build-in search&replace function for hex and ASCII.
And is it necessary to handle the files separately as .hex files? Couldn't the editing process be done in the file directly?

Support Additional Text Encodings in Hex Viewer

Sublime Text 3 build: 3083
Operating system: Mac OS 10.11.2
Errors in console: None
Detailed description of the problem: It would be awesome if hex viewer supported unicode text by showing the appropriate unicode characters on the right whenever Sublime Text shows the right thing. This would be a reasonably big UI change, since a character is more than one byte, but some very simple approaches might be good enough. For example, you could use the Unicode rules to look up the appropriate glyph and show it (if available) in the slot for the first byte, and then still fill in the remaining bytes with "." to keep exactly 24 glyphs per row.

Reproduction Steps:

1. Create a new text file in Sublime Text and paste in the following text: "Hello 人亻𠆢龟龜". This should appear as "Hello " followed by five Chinese characters. (You may need to install a Chinese font first.)
2. Save the file.
3. Toggle to hex view. The text at the right will show "Hello ................" (sixteen dots).

Support Relative Starting Addresses

First of all the plugin is really promising, I which I could use it too.
But most of the time I'm working with Intel Hex files and there is no compatibility yet.

Intel Hex is a very common hex format (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_HEX) allowing to specify the addresses of data (as opposed to plain binary).

Would it be possible to add support for this hex format?

The following example can be saved as a .hex.
I attached screenshot of the current rendering and the expected one (from another tool).

Suggest more digits for double in hex inspector

Great tool! I did make a minor edit to add more digits to the double display under Hex Inspector (line 104 hex_inspector.py -14e change to -18.15e). I have files with time stamps in double seconds.

Thanks.

Entering strings in the hex edit panel doesn't work

I browsed the package source, and discovered that it should actually be possible to enter strings in the hex edit panel, as long as they are prefixed by a "s:". This unfortunately doesn't work for some reason, there are no errors displayed and the file just stays unmodified after pressing enter.

HexViewer refuses to load file larger than 50000.0KB.

I realize this is a config setting, so locally I do have this changed so I can get by this limit. But it made me wonder, instead of preventing the user from doing this, can you pop up a warning instead? This is a design decision you made, why not make things more flexible for the user? Thanks for at least making it a config option I can override in my user config.

Rename the command "Find by Address" into "Go to Offset"

Thanks for this great package.

I'd like to make just one suggestion:
to rename the command in Tools|Packages|HexViewer|Find by Address into Go to offset.
That's because this command is equivalent to "Go to a specific offset" - it's not performing a search.

Speed up exporting and checksumming of large files

• Push more checksum work into thread and reduce hang when executing for better large file performance
• Thread Export and properly call checksum thread (when desired) to properly reduce hang

Use Insert Mode to Get Underline Caret

The underline caret used for insert mode is more visually accurate for hex viewing since it's always directly under one individual character instead of between.

Current:

Proposed:

Just something to consider. If it doesn't pose any other complications it might be worth the small change.

Sublime Text 3

HexViewer does not work for me at all in ST3. I use shift+super+P and select Toggle Hex View and nothing happens. I see no output in the console.

No installation instructions, basic usage docs

Hi,

Can I suggest adding installation instructions to the readme? And basic usage instructions? I tried extracting the release zip to the packages folder, but didn't see how to switch to hex mode.

Thanks.

Getting "HexViewer: View does not exist on disk!" error

When I try to use "Toggle Hex View", I get this error and HexViewer is unusable.

Mac OSX 10.11.3
ST3 build 3103

Unable to export bin

For some reason, I cannot export my hex files to binary. When I try to, it creates an empty file at the path specified, then throws this error:

"Failed to export to C:\path\to\file\test2.txt"

I am running Windows 8.1, using ST 3. My plugins include Emmet, Git, and ArduinoIDE, among others.

Hopefully this is just an error on my part, or maybe just due to plugin conflicts. Any help or insight into this would be appreciated.

Font bug

Apparently not so monospace...

What information do you need?

HexViewer: View does not exist on disk!

Running Sublime Text 3 on Windows 10. Trying to use HexViewer after some time, getting an error message saying

.sublime-keymap errors

Hi,
There are some missing comma in commit SHA: 42f24e7 , see my comments.
On Windows, ST2 refuse to start with this error. Not nice...

Issue with Sublime Text 3 and Hex Toggle

The toggle hex option seems to do nothing, and provides no output to the console. I've tried a total re-install of Sublime 3, and have only installed Package Manager(via their install command) and Hex Viewer(via package manager) trying to test this. The hash generation functions seem to work fine. I also rebooted Sublime after installing each one.

This is Sublime build 3059 64 bit on Win7 64 bit.

Here is the log from start up if it provides any insight:

Option for Uppercase Hex

Could you add a setting to display the Hex in uppercase: 0123456789ABCDEF

Crash on large file

Hi!

I tried HexViewer on a 49mb file. It caused sublime text to allocate over 6 gb of ram and eventually completely crash the machine to the point where I had to pull the power cable.

This was on 64 bit windows 7 with 64 bit sublime text 2.

Default keymap conflicts with build system - Ctrl+B needs to be pressed twice

I had the same issue described here and fixed it by adapting my keymap, as described here.
Is this a known issue/limitation?

Version: ST3, Build 3114

Font

I am using Mac Sublime Text 2.0.1 Build 2217

The default font HexViewer starts with is a variable width font, and I would like fixed-width.

I set this in ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/HexViewer/hex_viewer.sublime-settings:

"custom_font" : "Courier New",
"custom_font_size" : 12,

And the font did not change (restarted sublime, too)

Also, I set the default user setting font in sublime, which worked for Sublime, but not with HexViewer.

Hex Inspector does not close when closing a file opened in Hex View

Scenario

• Open a file
• Enable the HexView by using Ctrl-Shift-P: Hex Viewer: Toggle Hex View
• Verify that the Hex Inspector view is shown at the bottom of the screen
• Close the active file using Ctrl-F4

Expected result

• The Hex Viewer with the open file closes, and the Hex Inspector view is closed as well

Actual result

• The open file closes, but the Hex Inspector view at the bottom remains open, until the Hex Viewer is explicitly enabled and disabled again.

Support for ST3?

Does this work with sublime text 3? I'm trying to install it and I can't tell if I'm being stupid or it just isn't supported.

Change option 'Show Hex Inspector' to 'Toggle Hex Inspector'

Can we change the 'Show Hex Inspector' to 'Toggle Hex Inspector' so that we can hide the Hex Inspector also.

Also we want this Hex Inspector to be shown only on that file which has the HexViewer Enabled. but it is getting shown on each and every other tab too..

Executing the command "Hex Viewer: Toggle Hex View" has no effect in some cases

I had some installation trouble, and I'm not sure if it's a bug. I hope this is the right place to post.

Symptom: Executing the command "Hex Viewer: Toggle Hex View" has no effect.

Sublime Text version/build: 2.0.2 build 2221
Operating system: Mac OS 10.11.2
Errors in console: None (No Console Output whatsoever)

Detailed description of the problem:
I installed hex viewer via Package Control. (I installed package control just before installing hex viewer. I got some errors when using the console, so I did it manually.) The console showed an issue with md2 hash, but this might be an unrelated problem. Full console output is below. After installing, use Cmd-Shift-P to bring up the command palette. The command "Hex Viewer: Toggle Hex View" is present, but executing it has no visible effect and produces no output to the console.

Here is the full console output after installing Hex Viewer via Package Control.

Opening images with hex viewer

Currently there is no way to see an image in hexa decimal format. Could it be added ?

It would be nice to be able to check results while writing/reading metadata in an image for example.

Originally it was included by default in sublime, but now when opening an image, sublime shows a preview.

Note : if I change the file extension *.png to *.txt, I can use the package correctly.

Font configuration

How do I configure the font to be used under HexView? When I toggle to HexView, it seems to be using a different font and I could not change it with Font Chooser

New Release

Create a new release with recent fix.

File closes when only one file open

Toggling a file when it is the only open causes all views to close.

How edit text in HexViewer?

See how I edit the text in my editor 010 Editor.

Is it possible to do so in HexViewer? I read documentation and I found only command hex_editor that edits bytes, no text.

Thanks.

We have groups_byte_by_bits. Can we have endianess setting for that?

As title.
I know the Hex Inspector can being Big/Little endian mode. It let user check value easily.
Sometime I need to check machine code( e.g. ARM processor). It's word/dword boundary placing machine code. If this plugin can switch byte order, it will quite helpful for examining the machine code manually.
e.g.
3456 7890 --> big endian
5634 9078 --> little endian

34567890 12345678 --> big endian
90785634 78563412 --> little endian

The Notepad++ has plugin "Hex Editor". In that options has "Start Layout" tab can do this well.

Binary search

Using the sublime built-in search the address will stop you from searching continous binary bit.

If I delete the space between the hex word or mismatch the space, built-in search cannot tell the right result.

If I use some kind of complex regex, it maybe work for a while.

Binary or decimal or hex continous search. Allow space in user-input pattern string.

So how about a function for it?
