Binary compare

[Fabius]

Hello, I have a few questions about binary files comparison.

- Is there any way to avoid the padding behavior? I would like to have the ability to make a simple byte-to-byte comparison.
- Is there a way to show the address column?
- Is there a way to edit files on the hex or ASCII side?

What I'm trying to achieve is something similar to vbindiff, which does all these 3 things in the terminal.

Yes. See Options | Binary Comparison | Use fast byte-by-byte comparison

- Is there a way to show the address column?

With fast byte-by-byte comparison enabled, the address column will be visible by default, and optionally hidden.

- Is there a way to edit files on the hex or ASCII side?

No, binary comparison is read-only.

Thank you very much. May I ask if there's any plan to add the edit feature?

No, there are no current plans, at least not for version 16.
