Copy/Paste between the two diffing windows.[Feature] #1269

Open RChadwick7 opened 1 year ago

RChadwick7 commented 1 year ago

What feature would you like to see?

The ability to copy and paste selected sections in the Diffing windows. Imhex finds the differences well, but no option to do something about it.

How will this feature be useful to you and others?

Anyone who needs to combine two damaged files into one working file.

Request Type

Additional context?

I have two files recovered from a hard drive. Both are supposed to be the identical file. Both have damage in different sections. The bad sections are 00 00 00 00 00's so they are easy to spot. When I diff the two files, I can see the different sections and it's easy to see the good data. I want to copy the good data to the file missing that data. I haven't found a way to do this.

A Context menu window in General with different options such as Copy (as), paste, etc. would be awesome. This can maybe get ported over from the normal Hex view.
