Add binary compare

Open bynect opened this issue 8 months ago • 9 comments

Description

It would be very useful to have a sidebyside view of the binary that you modified. this way we can compare what we read and want to write. If you like the idea I can try to add it myself

Hello, @bynect ! I thought about this, but it would require the use of two HexEditor plugins. The main form would have a very large width. It's not pretty. There will be too much generally unnecessary information. I think you need a separate utility (or an additional Binary compare form) to compare two binary arrays, since the compare function is rarely needed. Also, the difference in the values of the binary arrays should be highlighted in color. I will probably do this, but later.

I was thinking of an optional view that pops out when needed. Also in my screen almost half of the screen is empty in the hex editor view. So I don't think the visual clutter is really a problem. My idea was something like binary diff tools, but without the need to save the dump and open another program.

Hello, @bynect ! Have you thought about this feature with the chip data and downloaded file?

Excuse me, @bynect! What is your native language? Maybe you can add a new language support to my IMSProg?

Thank you! The Italian translation has already been created by Giovanni Scafora. ( @giovanni69 ).
