Tiny Hexer Medium Edition

Files are a lot more than meet the eye, with the type not being defined only by the extension alone. Different codes are behind everything, and HEX is a popular format. In case you want to edit, or view this type of code, specialized applications like Tiny Hexer Medium Edition are easy enough to use even by newcomers.

Since the application aims to edit HEX code, you can target any kind of file. Although you can’t just drop them over the main window to open them, the load dialog isn’t that difficult to use. What’s more, you’re able to work on multiple files at the same time, in either a tab, or window management, with several arrangement options in this regard.

The code is neatly displayed in the center area, with code selection highlighting items on all sides to make identification easy. Editing can be done on the spot. The dedicated menu allows you to jump to specific lines, find and replace custom text strings, insert nibbles, or clear undo buffer to allow room for a bit more mistakes.

Another particular aspect which adds a lot to practicality is the neat support for different character encodings. In this regard, there’s also a conversion component allowing you to change the format from, and to Windows, Dos 8 bits, ASCII 7 bits, Macintosh, EBCDIC codepage 38, as well as Unicode.

A value editor provides a bit more options than what you regular keyboard holds, with several types of encoding formats, value field, and Radix value. Moreover, you can compare two active projects, or even the active project to an existing file. For more efficiency with large files, there’s the possibility to add line bookmarks, with no slot limits.

General settings can be customized in order to support OLE drag and drop, show hex characters in lowercase, use mouse wheel for zooming, allow multiple instances, configure backup options and location. The visual design can be tweaked as well to make the interface suit your style. All of your changes can be saved to file to create different profiles.

All things considered, we can safely state that Tiny Hexer Medium Edition is a powerful HEX editor which can be used on multiple files at a time, in a practical, intuitive environment. Character encoding support provides the flexibility you need, with bookmarks to quickly jump to lines of interest, and different edit options for extra comfort.
