0.2a ediHex
ediHex 0.2a
A major update focused on search, file comparison, and hex editing.
What's New
Find
- Search runs in the background with a progress indicator — the UI stays responsive on large files.
- Closing the Find panel no longer discards results — browse matches from Inspector → Find Results.
- Navigate matches with Previous / Next from the Inspector or the Edit menu.
Compare
- Compare with… — start a diff with the active file on the left (Tools menu or tab context menu).
- Jump between differences with F3 and ⇧F3.
- Inspector → Comparison shows scan progress, diff count, current offset, and navigation controls.
- Clearer diff highlighting and an improved minimap.
Hex Editor
- Cleaner selection and editing visuals when typing hex digits.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed data corruption when editing many bytes in sequence on an open file.
- Retyping the same value (e.g.
11on a byte that is already0x11) now moves to the next byte without marking the file as changed. - Compare view no longer shows wrong highlights after changing bytes per row.
- Diff navigation works correctly across multi-byte changes, files of different sizes, and at file boundaries.
- Fixed a crash when comparing files of unequal length.
- Scroll position is preserved more reliably while browsing and comparing.
Help
- Built-in help (⌘?) updated for Compare with…, diff navigation, and Find Results.
Requires macOS 15.6 or later.
