In case of questions or problems please give me feedback. Hex Fiend does not limit you to in-place changes like some hex editors. Hex Fiend is a fast, lean, and powerful hex editor built just for the Mac. You wont dread launching or working with Hex Fiend even on low-RAM machines.
Right now you can download Synalyze It! for Mac OS X and give it a try. Hex Fiend does not keep your files in memory. Matching grammars are suggested automatically when you open a file. I doubt that I will ever fully exploit the potential of Synalyze It! but the value I’ve received is already many multiples of the price I paid.įor some well-known formats you can download grammars here. I was sent a complete solution to my problem that also served as an advanced Synalyze It! tutorial. When I emailed a question to the developer, the technical support was outstanding. I quickly got ambitious and was soon in over my head exploring Synalyze It!’s features. If the standard formatting tools are not enough, you can write formatting scripts using Python or Lua. Your files can even modify the formatting, allowing you to create settings on the fly to variably view your data. Instead of struggling with cryptic lines of hexadecimal, you can view and label data values as floating point or integer, signed or unsigned, with any byte length. With Synalyze It!, you can create custom data formatters for your personal binary files. That alone is useful but, if you’re a programmer creating a custom binary file format, Synalyze It! is priceless. Synalyze It! provides formatters for common binary types like ICC, PNG, TIFF, WAV, ZIP and dozens more. It enables you to easily apply a structured format to your file bytes and convert them into meaningful displays of data. Synalyze It! is an extremely flexible and useful tool for viewing binary file data. justperry said: Its actually ridiculous apps dont work after an update, I remember the good times when updating to the next OS X version would not be any problem except for old hardware, now apps just break with every major update (10.10- to 10.11 for instance).
