Microhex0.0.2 PreAlpha

Microhex is an intuitive software application that gives you the possibility to view and edit the hexadecimal code of any file, regardless of its type. It comes loaded with several advanced options.

Multi-tabbed interface and clear-cut options

After a fast setup operation that shouldn't give you any trouble, you are welcomed by a user-friendly interface with support for multiple tabs, which means that you can open multiple files at a time and easily manage them.When opening a file, you can load only a specific range of bytes instead of the entire content, freeze the size, make it read-only, or ask Microhex to completely read into memory.

View and edit hexadecimal code

You can check out the hex offsets and view the current selection highlighted, copy and paste data, as well as set up columns by selecting a name, binary format, signed or unsigned values, base, and number of columns on row.It's possible to jump to any address in the hex code, add and remove bookmarks, conduct basic search operations for hex values, hide the header from display, increase or decrease the font size, add as many columns as you want, add address bar to columns, as well as undo and redo your actions wherever this is applicable.As far as program options are concerned, you can modify the default maximum file size to be completely loaded into RAM, make the integer editor display numbers in uppercase by default, change the default style for the integer editor, switch to another UI language, disable alternating row colors, and alter font settings.

It left a small footprint on system performance, running on low CPU and RAM.All in all, Microhex features handy and easy-to-understand options to help you view and edit hex code, and it can be handled by all types of users.
