The KDE binary file editor is a versatile editor. The goal is to
make it the best and most usable editor of this kind available. Target
audience is mostly (but not limited to) developers that occasionally need
to examine and perhaps modify files which are unreadable by common editors.
Here are a few.
- Highly configurable document view.
- Displays documents in four modes. Hexadecimal, octal, binary
and text only.
- Search and replace dialogs.
- Goto dialog and bookmark functionality.
- Pretty printing with headers and footers (in postscript).
- Undo/Redo operation is supported.
- Insert and overwrite mode operation. A document can be resized.
- Copy and paste of both ASCII and binary data.
- Multiple documents can be open simultaneously.
- All functions are accessible trough keyboard and mouse.
- Support for non ASCII encoded files, eg. EBCDIC encoded files.
- Supports drag and drop of documents from kfm.
- Supports drag and drop of an open file from one editor to another.
- Session management. Remembers state from one session to the next.
0.8.1
- Bugfix: Command line file arguments was read but not used.
- Bugfix: Incorrect redrawing of cursor if horizontal scrollbar was
visible and the scrollbar was moved to the right.
- The "Conversion Field" can now be displayed in its own window
outside the editor window (floating display).
- The "Binary" entry in "Conversion Field" can now display a window
of bit values (window size 1-16 bits). Eg, if the cursor is located
on bit 2 and the window size is 8, 3 bits (LSB) of the first
byte is displayed and 5 bits (MSB) of the next. Hence the bit
view is not constrained to the byte boundary.

- Binary Filter: (new methods)
- Bit swapping (eg, swap bit 0 and 5) Leon Lessing, leon@lrlabs.com
- Bit reversal (eg, 00000011 transforms to 11000000)
- Bit rotation (eg, 00001011 can be rotated to 01100001)
- Bit shift (eg, 00001011 can be shifted to 00000001)
- Command line option: "-offset <value>", moves the cursor in the
displayed document on startup. <value> can be hexadecimal or decimal.
- Extended documentation.
