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. 11 on a byte that is already 0x11) 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.
