I just discovered 010 Editor yesterday, I wish I had known about it years ago! I deal with binary files a lot (ranging from creating .bmp files to reverse engineering to creating my own).
I was able to quickly create a template for a binary file I’ve been working on recently, with no header, just 28-byte structs. I used “SetBytesPerLine(28);” which displays the file in the hex editor with one struct per line. The template results and proper width in the hex editor are very nice!
In the hex editor, it has the line number on the left, then the hex bytes in the middle, then characters on the right. What I would love to be able to do is add text to the right of the characters. So instead of:
0000 26 67 01 00 53 54 41 54 E0 61 79 66 ....STATaayf
I could see:
0000 26 67 01 00 53 54 41 54 E0 61 79 66 ....STATaayf 63769 STAT 66791E00h
That would let me “see” the entire file quickly and easily, without having to go to the template results and go through one-by-one (e.g. to tell if the file is sorted as I think it should be).
I’m guessing that templates just don’t have access to the hex editor, but figured it would be worth checking!
