I've converted the static binary to a .pet, so doesn't need wxGtk libs installed.
Run via Menu>Utility>General>wxHexEditor.

Interesting. I've been looking for a decent Linux hex editor, to replace the Windows one I've been using through Wine. This looks like it's developing fairly well, though I'd have to wonder if there will be an option to change how the cursor offset is displayed - I'm too used to the 0x0000 format. Razz (Well, that and I have a lot of notes written with the locations in that format... Embarassed )

I really like wxHexEditor, although I haven't updated from svn for a few months Wink
If anyone wants to learn c++/wx, there are still some features that need implementing and would probably be good to learn on, and the author is really keen for help (he offered me commit rights without me even asking for them, after I posted a patch for a really basic workaround Smile).

The main point in this project is that it can handle large files as it doesn't load the whole file into ram. There is one other (IIRC QT based?) project that the author of this mustn't have noticed though Smile

I presume the problem is not just that you haven't noticed you can change between hex and binary offset display by clicking in the offset display area?

Bah. I can't be expected to click everywhere, now, can I? Razz

Yeah, I hadn't noticed that. Thanks. Looks like I can remove my Wined hex editor, after all. Smile Now, all I have to do is hope there will be a byte-compare feature in the future. Embarassed

Do you think it would be better if it was switched by a right-click rather than a left-click?
Personally I'd like to be able to select in the offset pane with the left button...

Possibly. I can imagine accidentally clicking in that pane and not realizing it. Very Happy It might be nice if there was a column header bar you could click on instead, to swap it between the view methods (like you would change between field sort methods in a file explorer), I don't know.

Can't think of anything, offhand. Embarassed Maybe something to do with a patch system (creating diffs?), but that might end up being handled differently between Linux and Windows (especially if you were to create 'executable' patches... Very Happy)

(As you can see, I probably should NOT try to make suggestions after being out with my family all night until three A.M... Shocked Razz )
