A Bug Report: Display Error?

[davidanger]

I'm using Th.HEX file to Tb.BIN file. Found this maybe a Bug. Th.HEX: :05000000744C7867F666 :00000001FF Tb.BIN(Should Be): 00000000 74 4C C7 78 67 F6 Tb.BIN(Display): 00000000 74 4C C7 78 67 C3 B6

So If you change or make a bin file in HEX mode, by end of F6. Than you save and reopen this file, you'll see display is C3 B6.

Thanks.

Maybe a issue with the automatic detection of the encoding. Which one did you use for creating/modifying the file and which one is shown on reload? You could try to disable autodetect char encoding in preferences:

The same problem occured when I opened a file with content F6 00 09 00 00 00 00 00 00 00, the F6 was "replaced" with C3 B6 and the last 4 bytes disappeared. It still occurs after I diasbled autodetect encoding. I created this file by using fwrite() in a C program, the encoding shown in NPP was UCS-2 Little Endian. I'm using NPP 7.5.9 64-bit and the plugin's version is 0.9.5.19.

Problem

1. I created a binary file use this C code

    uint32_t d = 0xf1f2f3f4;
    FILE* f = fopen("t.bin","wb");    
    fwrite(&d,1,4,f);
    fclose(f);

2. then open it with Notepad++

3. The status bar does not display correctly

• Expected: length:4 lines:1
• Actual: length:8 lines:1

4. click plugin menu of HEX-Editor -> View in Hex, it's also incorrect,

• Expected: f1 f2 f3 f4
• Actual: d1 84 d1 83 d1 82 d1 81
