I had a try at the issue is still present on version 1.35.4
, things are even worse than originally reported !
It seems that now undefined areas are reported as 00
instead of ??
, which makes them impossible to differentiate in the hex view.
So in the diff view the differences with regions of 00
are still not detected, and the regions size difference is not marked anymore either.
See this screenshot of exactly the same files as in the original screenshot:
Reposting original screenshot (from version 1.28.0
) here for simple comparison:
It would be really nice to see better support for Intel Hex file format in ImHex, also with the proposal from https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex/issues/682. In any case thank you for your efforts on this tool.
Operating System
Windows
What's the issue you encountered?
When comparing two intel hex files, regions that are undefined (marked with ??) are shown as matching with values
00
.See in the following screenshot:
I believe undefined is different that zeroes and this should be shown as modified or removed.
Additionally when diffing intel hex files the same limitations with large undefined areas than with file handling applies. It would be nice to offer (undefined) regions folding or jumping over like described in #682.
How can the issue be reproduced?
Create two files as: FileA:
FileB:
Open them as Intel Hex format and use the diffing view.
