HexEdit Revision History10/31/02 1.85re-wrote the search routine to get a 100x speedup! (650MB search in 1.25 minues vs 120+) (now manages chunks directly, and chunks are now 128K instead of 30K each)re-wrote file comparison routines in same manner as new search codeonly a single file comparison routine (instead of one for match and one for diff)Outlines are in grey instead of black, which works better for any color schemere-wrote the selection hiliting code to come out closer to selection hilite in textedit Due to multiple color lines we can't use "hilite" mode for "InvertRect" so I used a strange pen mode, the hilite color and got pretty close. Doesn't work for all color schemes, just like text edit's hilighting. Still, pretty close & looks better!Files used to be limited to one chunk in memory at a time (although the system seemed designed for more than that). Now there can be multiple chunks, and each file is limited to a total RAM limit for loaded chunks (1MB on carbon, 128K on other systems). This should speed up some editing.08/18/02 1.81 (cvs only, no official release)Added a new entry (Divider Lines) to the color schemes (per Uli, plus Sage and Aqua schemes)Moved Color Schemes and templates to seperate fileMoved About box and related resources to seperate fileAbout box now uses "auto scroll" control, fixes OS X stagger, left basic code in for 68K build. (Uses either appearance or normal about resources, depending on runtime.)Fixed bad use of special menu chars in window/menu stringsShow errors opening files w/drag & drop open (but not print)Used FSGetCatalogInfo to preserve unix permissions (and who knows what else :)Only use AppearanceManager 1.1 (from Mac OS 8.5 on) which have functionality we needColor menu checkmark now shows color of current window (instead of global setting) (also fixes bug of double-selecting a color turning checkmark off)No more "default" color, that's now Ocean and "Aqua" is now the default (much nicer scheme!)
04/29/02 1.80Removed per-window offscreen drawing surface (a single color capable offscreen is now used for all windows)Single offscreen means memory usage goes WAY DOWN, a very good thingSingle offscreen means flickering of selection no longer happensSingle offscreen means slower drawing speed, only noticable on older MacsRe-arranged the distribution files for a cleaner layout that is more user-friendlyWindows zoom is now restricted to full line height at window creationOpen/Save dialogs now get prompt at load, including Nav dialogs!Re-layed out window to handle files of huge size (ie, 8 chars for hex addresses!)Re-layed out header to reflect larger file size handling (8 chars per hex address!)Positioning of vertical lines now relative to body draw position (in code)Major re-arrangement of EditWindow.c to be easier to followWindows no longer grow below bottom of screenFixed problem where data file w/no resource fork didn't display correct error messageCleaned up some opening code (to not duplicate functionality)Fixed a few memory leaks when failing to open a file's forkFixed a possible condition that could leave files openNo longer resize the window when you try to re-open an open fileMax window sizes now take into account the doc in OS XFixed update of outline in ascii area, bottom right edge was 1 pixel shortAdded an error specific to saving files when the original is moved or deletedUpdated error message on missing resource forks so explain what's happeningScrolling speed of drags now gets faster the further from the window the mouse goesFixed cut not copying selection deleted; it does now, just like copy :)Windows open to better default sizes nowAlerts now belong to the window from which the error occursFile compare now uses currently open windows by default, when availableHolding "Option" when selecting Compare Files menu option forces file selection dialogsMenu routines now passed the key modifiers state (see above, below)Holding "Option" when selecting a color will change the color of only the front windowBy default, changing the color now changes the color of all open windows!You can now go to the start/end of a file with Option-Up/Option-Down (Home/End)New option to cause page up/down to only move display, not change edit cursor positionComparison mode now allows available menu command keys to workNon-Destructive delete in insert mode is now just that, non-destructive!Now accept "Clear" key and Option-Delete to "clear" a selection to zerosAdded seperate color entry for dark body color (was based on bar color previously)Added a few new colors, and updated some of the other colors (sure wish someone would create a set of colors that looked good :)Minimum Window size is now 10 linesAdded EF's changes to the way window clicks are handled, for better OS X usageAdded EF's carbon events code to allow mouse wheel to scroll window contentsTrying to go to an address outside of the window's file size signals error with a beepOptimized some calculations of window display positionWhen scrolling in very large files we now always position to the first byte of a display lineFixed problem with tabbing between hex and ascii fields, (boolean ops on non-booleans bad) most enums are now typedefs so they can be used as data types (see above fix for example :)<unreleased> 1.77Incorporated file compare window changes from Nick PissaroMajor re-arrange of main.c to be easier to followRemoved all "CompareFlag" references, now pass type of window to functions (effects SizeWindow, file open routines, etc.)03/20/02 Version 1.76fixed DisposeChunk to check for NULL window (fixes replace all crash) thanks to Ben H.fixed printing in classic (removed check for error on PrValidate, it doesn't return errors)about box now invalidates rect in carbon build to try and get better speed in os xcarbon precompiled header include now from carbon support folderupdated project to have carbon builds look in carbon support folder firsterror alert into debugger updated for new universal headersfixed about dialog box scroll speed in OS X (speed now based on time elapsed)updated all source to include CVS version/edit informationupdated copyright datesprefs now set vertical bars on by defaultcreated new default color scheme (slightly modified turquoise)color is now on by defaultupdated pref version # to force above prefs changes on everyone :)12/17/01 Version 1.75Added Replace and Replace All functionality! (Available the Find dialog)Can no longer open files twiceAll file access is now thru FSp calls (saves code and allowing all machines to open files starting with periods)Updated file open error message to reflect likelyhood of already open filesEmpty fork warnings now work! (ie, if a fork is empty, you are warned about the fact before it is opened)Use a Carbon v1.1 function just to require that version or later. (this is an attempt to fix the crash under CarbonLib v1.0.x)Adjusted position of elements in file compare prefs dialog for OS XAdded OS X Project Builder project (compiles, links, starts runs, but can't debug)Fixed bad sizing of scroll barsFixed problem with scroll thumb moving when clicked on (but not dragged)Compare files now uses an open window if existing for a selected fileAdjusted sizing of compare windowsAdjusted size of HexEdit windows, fixing 10th column being squashedAdded NEW pentagram icon by Lane RoatheAdjusted speed of about box text for MacOS X (Carbon)Adjusted find/replace dialog for MacOS X8/12/01 Version 1.74added live scrolling (based on code sent in by Brian Bergstrand <brianb@classicalguitar.net>Cleaned up ControlActionProc, now properly localmajor cleanup to live scrolling code (added CalcScrollPosition)Fixed not saving resource fork when updating filesFixed not setting EOF when saving filesFixed infinite loop when swapping search dialog to back w/invalid dataFixed crashing about box (although it may be that the fix was a new CarbonLib!)Fixed crash when closing one of the compare files windowsAdded some compile-time checks for 68K and non CW itemsNEW option to copy data unformatted: formatted (default) = AA AA AA unformatted (option) = AAAAAA(NOTE: only applies to HEX copies, ASCII copies always copy raw binary data!)Cleaned up some scrap usage in carbon buildsWindow dirty flag is set at lowest modification levels instead of a bunch of higher levelsNEW option, "Non-Destructive Delete" which is only available in overwrite mode (when editing this mode causes "Delete" to zero the byte behind the cursor, or the current selection if there is one, instead of deleting the byte/selection).Added a few "spare" pref enteries so that we can add prefs w/o reseting them in future builds6/6/01 Version 1.72Modified options menu to be a bit more understandableFind menu options now match dialog buttonsFixed scroll limit calculations so that all lines are always visible & scroll bar set correctlyFixed erasing of undrawn area to erase partial ending of lines (ie, when window not limited to full lines)Removed all &0xFFFFFFF0 && << 4 references since we may not always have 16 bytes per lineFind forward/back are now disabled if edit window not in front, is empty or search string is emptyRevert now puts up a dialog to confirm revert since it zaps all changesMovement keys to before/after file now deselect if shift not pressedFilenames in menus/windows are now stripped of bad characters (meaning that displayed names may not exactly match, but won't break app either!)searchWin & gotoWin are now searchDlg and gotoDlg since they are dialogsReverting a file now sets the file as unchangedSwitching from the find dialog to an edit window now sets the search textRemoved duplicate error alert resource (it was unused)Icon used in dialogs has been changed for consistancy with standard applicationsPartially hidden line at bottom of window now reflected in selection inversionChanged Redo Delete to Redo Editing (cause delete almost never made sense)Added a colon after Len in hex status barTested on 7.6 PPC (non-interface or appearance) and 7.55 68K machines ... works now!HEct template is now for Resourceror by defaultAdded font face/size STR# resourceDrawing routines can now work w/most any mono font and size!Enlarged many dialog controls to account for stupidly large size of OS X font!Increased the search speed under Carbon even more by only checking for aborts every 4K bytesFixed non-appearance open dialog usage (caused crash on 8.1 and older systems)Made InternetConfigLib,NavigationLib,AppearanceLib, and InterfaceLib weak linkedAdded a few new contributors to the about boxUndo/Redo is no only available for the window the change was made forUndo buffer is now disposed when corresponding window is closedFixed editing an empy fork (ie, a new file) displaying garbage in first lineFixed saving files when backups were on (temp files now use ^ suffix, backups use ~ suffix)Fixed "find again" not search for second item (plus cleaned up code)Fixed slowness of find, it was over agressive on the CheckForAbort call, now 15x as fastFixed ability to click on first two characters of the ASCII data columnImproved click sensitivity withing the Hex data column (esp. for last hex byte)Implemented Nick Shanks's v1.71 changes relating to selecing Appearance or standard windowImplemented Greg Branche's changes (a few bug fixes and MPW build capability!)Minor code cleanup and interface tweaks4/15/01 Version 1.70Fixed many bad uses of a WindowRef as a DialogRef (ie, if dialogRef == FrontWindow() fails on OS X!) (As a side note, this also fixe the not pasting on entry...very cool!)Changed all uses of "FrontWindow" to "FrontNonFloatingWindow" in carbon builds (sourcce is all this usage, but non-carbon builds macro out to FrontWindow)Fixed printing (and prettied it up a bit in the process)Fixed menus not being set after AppleEvent opens, closesNavigation (open/save) dialogs no longer system modalReset the cursor on entry to About dialogRenamed HiOrder ASCII to Show Extended CharsFixed cursor selectionFixed printing (actually non-printing) of 0x7F charsWindow menu updated after any open/close of editing windowFixed searches to look at EOF before starting, and >= instead of ==Pasting to Carbon build no longer crashes, but on entry can't paste (can w/switch)Added routine to set window namewindow names now include fork info (fixes window menu confusion bug as well)Removed fork info from header, replaced with selection lengthCheck for cmd-. in file comparisonWindow proc is now 1031, not 8 (might not work for non-appearance systems)Removed DrawGrowIcon call in update, fixes very minor flash in updatesFixed window menu selection code to avoid crashing w/null access if window not foundCreated new routine to set window nameWindow names now reflect if they are the data or resource windowAdded a new routine to menus to get a menu item corresponding to a windowMoved the version resources to their own fileModified the project to set the correct flags in release builds (custom icon, etc.)Fixed a bad (Boolean) conversion with the menu code, which was causing "Edit Other Fork" to fail to find an existing window on occasion (if the last byte happened to be '00') because it coerced a Handle into a Char!Fixed all the lines per page calculations! Many a bug are fixed :) (inspired by Scott, who sent in a try at a printed page lines per page fix)Printing errors in Carbon now report error codeRemoved MaxWindowHeight constant since this is calculated nowRenamed MaxWindowWidth to HexWindowWidth since it's a constant (not sizeable)Added new pref, partialLines, to control constraining window resizing to full lines (or not)Fixed zoom to be 1/2 height, not moving to the right ... huh?Min window height no longer based on scroll bar size (not there!)Major cleanup to the drawing code ... what a mess :(Got tired of not knowing what was a constant and what wasn't (use kConstant, MACRO)Dang, SBarSize was being used for the # of bytes per line! Fixed!Added Zoom ability to carbon buildFixed Zoom - it was flat broke! (no idea why moving it right was considered a "zoom") (note: Window's actually start fully zoomed, and zooming unzooms...should this be changed?)Merged in Scott E. Lasley's printing code (what a guy!)Prettied up a bit of drawing/printing outputFirst pass at cleaning up printing code so printing is actually usable :)Made a few local routines static and renamed to _functionName formatFixed about box not handling URL clicks (forgot to check in AboutBox.h)Fixed NULL window ptrs to CarbonLib in UpdateMenus (g.searcWin, etc.)02/13/01 Version 1.66Fixed bad conversion of undo records to pointers (reverted to records)Fixed various NULL reference potentials having to do with using FrontWindowFixed a few bogus uses of ObjectWindow refs from a non-edit window via GetWRefConAdded ability to cancel searches with Command-. or EscapeRemoved the last of the english strings to the resource fileRe-wrote unique name routine to create more readable filenamesDisplay new window filenames (instead of a bogus generic name)Fixed new windows not being able to edit other fork (fsSpec not initialized!)Cleaned up sources for SourceForge CVS & added license commentsNew text files and names for easier useNew directory structure for SFMerged Nick Shanks 1.66URL's now attached to About linksFAT Carbonized applicationFixed SaveAs problem (and made sure no lingering (EditWindowPtr) coersions existed!)Fixed Goto/Search dialog paste crashes (involved re-writing HandleMenus!)Nick Shanks added a Window menuOption menu was re-arranged a littleMoved mac_Offscreen code to EditWindow.cNav services dialogs are now movable modalPressing TAB switches the edit cursor between the Hex and ASCII panesAdded the ability to click on the URL's in the about box to launch a web browserAdded Fat Carbon post-linker to the FAT build, so that it builds an intelligent FAT app (note: I licensed Fat Carbon for HexEdit, so it's legal to ship with this :)Nick Shanks seperated the headers out into more relavent filesAdded the licensing text to each source file for SourceForge distributionRe-arranged the directory structure to help with CVS distributionRe-arranged some of the support text files for CVS distributionIcons are now a seperate resource file so that you can create/choose what you likeSome very minor bugs and code cleanup went on as well01/01/01 Version 1.65Re-arranged menus, thanks to Stephane Moureau for the suggestion!Comparing a file against itself is no longer allowed! (Stephane Moureau)Lines per page count was one short, fixed (found via bug where select all didn't select last line, per Stephane Moureau)Find dialog disables Match Case option for hex cause you can't match case in hex (per Stephane Moureau)File Compare no longer retries selections if canceled at second selection. (per Stephane Moureau)Pasting bad information no longer creates an undo event (per Stephane Moureau)The "debug" button was removed from the main error dialog. (Press "OPTION" when clicking the dismiss button to drop into the debugger.) (Of course, if you don't have a debugger you will crash!)All alerts and dialogs were cleaned up to conform to UI guidelines and not be so ugly :)Edit other Fork & Compare files options are now in the File menu, where they make senseRenamed some other menu items to make things a bit more logicalFixed a weird problem with files being disposed of during editing. How'd that happen?!?Spelled Avocado correctly (per Stephane Moureau)Goto Address was messing with the "Address:" text as a user item, for reasons unkown to me.Goto dialog is now modeless :)Find dialog now ALWAYS has find buttons disabled if no text entered :) (dang global vars!)Cleaned up references to and use of dialog and alert ID'sHi Order ASCII option was not being set on load (per Toru Yoshizawa)Print menu text now now in a resource (STR# 129) to enable localization (per Jean-Jacques Cortes)Pretty new icons provided (including 32 bit) by Jean-Jacques Cortes!'dlgx' resources now included to make HexEdit appearance manager friendly (per Jean-Jacques Cortes)Labeled string resources to make localization task easierDisplay selected area (start and stop, both same for position with no selection). Suggested by Adrian WaltiAdded 'Home' and 'End' keys to go to beginning and end of file respectivelyChanged selection update method to always update headerUpdated the readme file to be accurate with all the changesChanged version and readme files to times and added some styling for readabilityRe-wrote the copy/paste functionality for better system performance and CarbonizationChanged the manner in which copies operate: Hex side copies ASCII hex, binary side copies binary (raw) data Hex side always pastes binary, binary side pastes raw clipboard (ie, hex copy pastes ascii rep in binary colum) ("bad" ASCII hex representation will paste as binary data instead of erroring out)Removed the "shift-copy" feature, since we now have this automated methodColor selection is only enabled for valid windows. (ie, a B&W window can't be changed to a color window!)Header strings now in STR# resource for localizationError strings now in STR# resource for localization. Also contain more information (like the error code :)Fixed window proc id (not sure how it got messed up)Goto Address menu option is how Cmd-J (to conform to CodeWarrior and other "standards")Find and Goto dialogs now remember position within a single run (positions NOT saved between runs)Adjusted window size to always show complete lines by default (David Emme)Fixed "Edit Other Fork" opening a new window instead of selecting a open window (Stephane Moureau)Fixed headers drawing in incorrect color during background updatesFixed minor menu enabling glitch when no windows were openDisabled the printing options under Carbon until I get Carbon/OS X printing workingAdded really cool new about box! (Now contributors can get their names listed where everyone sees them :)09/23/00 Version 1.6 (never released publicly)First pass at Carbonization! Scrap & Printing needs finishing, and I'd like make it superfat. Thanks to Nick Shanks and George Warner for their efforts in Carbonizing HexEdit!Carbon version uses Navigation Services.Many intrnal modifications to the code for Carbon compatibilityFixed (for good?) the bad case of opening files (-34). For some reason, having the check for locating a unique filename withing the "while" statement caused the error to be ignored at times, and then a bogus random name would be created.Fixed lock up when the find window or compare dialog was open.Added optional vertical bars (based on mod sent by David Emme)Find dialog is not visable during setupFind dialog buttons no longer flicker (thanks to Max Horn)Find dialog accepts return or enter as acceptanceUpdated to CWPro 6 (for ease of Carbon support)Optimization level now set to max and smaller code size.05/10/00 Version 1.5Made promise to self to update HexEdit web site so people know I actually work on HexEdit :)Moved all preferences to prefences structure.Made preferences actually work. (can't believe this bug was never reported!)Fixed bug w/appending ~ to max length filenames (temp files, reported by Ritchie)Fixed memory leak in DisposeChunk (reported by Nick Shanks)Finally found where the bogus errors were being generated on file opens & fixed it! (historical note; the routine to ensure unique temp filenames was very buggy) (darn: still a bug w/opening new windows returning an error -34 on occassion)Integrated modifications by Nick Shanks (appearing in Nick's 1.3 release): Made search buttons disable when there's nothing entered for which to search Shifted scroll bar, removed footer and tidied up codeAdded Color Schemes, based on idea by Nick Shanks. Off by default due to memory usage (historical note: it's a bad idea to use "SetPortBits" on color windows!)You can create/edit color schemes by editing the 'HEct' resources in HexEdit. If you create a cool scheme and want it included in the next HexEdit release, just send me the scheme's 'HEct' resource.Note: Using color windows takes 8╤32 times as much memory! So, if you are short on memory, have a large desktop (1024x768 or higher) or want lots of open windows, turn "Use Color" off (ie, it's not checked) before opening windows. HexEdit will remember your color usage preference the next time it is launched.11/30/99 Version 1.4.3Fixed system hilight color support reported by Tim Herzog.Added Tim's ASCII cut/copy mod. From Tim:╥Basically if you hold down the shift key when you cut/copy, it copies the selection to the system scrap in ASCII not in binary, so the TEXT scrap resembles the display in HexEdit. It's handy when you want to copy the asii representation, not the pure binary.╙8/19/99 Version 1.4.2Fixed bug reported by Jean-Pierre Melkonian (don't test for case in hex searches!)6/5/99 Version 1.4.1Fixed bug reported by Jonathan Write, where deleting text could corrupt a fileImproved menu operation, as reported by Aaron D. (ie, open works w/find dlg active)Updated to CWPro 5 and turned on optimizations for PPC build8/31/98 Version 1.4Preferences are now saved in the active system preferences folderChanged "ignore case" to be the default search methodSome interface cleanupA few VOODOO integration adjustmentsFix "Edit Other Fork" option7/16/98 Version 1.3.1Added "ignore case" option to Find dialog.Fixed HexEdit's use of CPU time (was always 99%), now it's 5% foreground, <1% background)If activated w/file compare windows open, display file compare dialog. (ie, if VOODOO activates us to show differences, then replicate Compare Files operation.)Open Dialog is back at startup, but only if not started up to do a file compare.Removed a few DebugStr's that could confuse users6/24/98 Version 1.3Added support for VOODOO AE compare suite.HexEdit no longer starts up with the open file dialog (required by above change)4/19/98 Version 1.22CWPro r3 projectFixed a few bugs related to empty data/resource forks (still a few hard-to-fix ones remaining, but should no longer crash.)8/2/97 Version 1.21CWPro r1 multi-target & MSL re-compile (added 15K too, sigh)Fixed a crash bug when trying to insert data into an empty forkAdded warning to potential future crash bugs (should never occure)Sources no longer require OLDROUTINENAMES to compile6/6/96 Version 1.2Now a "fat" application, sources Universal Headers happyAdd better file compare, allow setting compare optionsAdd ability to switch between both forks of a fileRemove all warnings from the compileFixed a few bugs relating to Power PC usage11/9/95 Version 1.1 (unreleased) (note: Dave Polaschek also released a "fat" v1.1!)Compiles with CodeWarriorFirst pass at "file compares"--- These are Jim Bumgardner's original revision comments ---9/25/94 Version 1.0.7Fixed bug: scroll bars weren't deactivating on deactivate eventAllows Quit and Close while Search Dialog is open.Added 'BINA' file type to bundle.9/22/94 Version 1.0.6Fixed cosmetic bug that caused multiple window refreshes to get mixed up (if you had more than one window open, the wrong contents would be dislayed when you switched from one window to another and clicked in the window).12/14/93 Version 1.0.5Fixed editing bug that occured when you typed in some chars, then positioned the insertion point to the beginning or the middle of those chars and deleted a char.12/13/93 Version 1.0.4Fixed bug that caused HexEdit to crash on SEs, Portables, and other B&W macs.Fixed scrolling bug that occurred on very large files.Improved redrawing speed on very large files.Eliminated cursor flashing when HexEdit is in background.Greys out menus when windows are closed.Added Freeware message to about box.9/10/93 Version 1.0.3Fixed a couple nasty bugs that caused HexEdit to behave erratically on files that couldn't fit in memory. The bug caused HexEdit to crash and not save these files properly.8/30/93Cmd-W Closes Find WindowRemoved ellipses from New menu itemEdit+Find menus dim appropriately8/23/93Changed ok button to say "Goto" instead of "Search" on goto dialog.Changed Cmd-Key shortcuts to be more MPW compatibleFixed some menu items to disable when windows are closedAdded Select AllAdded better About BoxFixed Cursor I-Beam problem.7/8/93 Version 1.0.2Changed length display to decimal when appropriateFixed resizing window bugRemoved "preferences" from edit menuMade checkmark preferences permanentAdded Backup File toggleAdded support for Zoom Box.Windows can be resized up to max size.7/6/93 Version 1.0.1Removed dependence on system 7, 32-bit quickdraw.Fixed bug with radio buttons on open file dialog.Sped up display for selecting.7/4/93Added Overwrite toggle switchAdded Goto Address7/2/93Added Ascii/Hex Search7/23/93Version 1.0 Released
