hachoir-wx is a wxWidgets-based program that's meant to provide a (more) user-friendly interface to the facilities provided by the hachoir binary parser core. For latest updates, to ask for a feature (please do!), and bleeding(-edge) source code see the website: http://hachoir.org/wiki/hachoir-wx Everyone is very welcome to contribute code =) hachoir-wx 0.3 ============== * Use the new getFieldType() method of hachoir-core 1.2 to display better informations about the field type, eg. shows the string charset hachoir-wx 0.2 ============== * hachoir-wx is now able to parse subfield * Display field description hachoir-wx 0.1.2 ================ Fix setup.py: also install hachoir_wx.xrc hachoir-wx 0.1.1 ================ Bugfixes: * Fix setup.py: install submodules! * setup.py uses distutils by default (and not setuptools) * Add some missing imports * Fix few typo errors hachoir-wx 0.1 Initial Release (all platforms) ============================================== Features: * Lazy-loaded hex view, meaning you can view a 20GB file and memory usage will remain constant, and the GUI will remain responsive. * Dynamic type conversion, meaning (for example) you can take a RawBytes field of size 4 and convert it to a UInt32 for a better look at your data. * Field splitting, meaning you can take a RawBytes range and split it into smaller ranges. This feature in conjunction with dynamic type conversion allows you to explore unknown binary formats more easily. * Field view that allows you to browse a binary file just like a directory. * Minor stuff like hex/dec view of addresses, absolute/relative field offsets, auto-resizing field view columns that stretch to the size of your data, etc. * Hex view automatically scrolls to and highlights the hex data of the currently selected field (called "marking".) * Field dumping, meaning you can select any field inside your binary file and save it on your hard disk for further examination/analysis/etc. Bugs: * [All]: Field view "Merge Down" doesn't work. * [Windows only]: Hex view only shows a ~4x5 char display of the data. This is believed to be due to a wxWidgets bugs related to text wrapping. * [Windows only]: Right-click context menu doesn't work. * [Windows only]: Hex view data marking doesn't work. * [Gtk only]: Hex view will occasionally show two scrollbars for the hex view if you resize the very quickly. This is likely a bug in wxGtk that (for some reason) ignores the "no vertical scrollbar" directive for text controls.
