Quick comparison of three hex editors:
HexEdit v2.0
- Most powerful, but betrays pre-Mac OS X roots.
- Features file compare, resource fork editing, PPC code disassembly.
- Interface: needs upgrading; does not have value display or recent files; but options are easily accessible from menu or shortcuts.
- Major con: Truncates long file names.
- No online help.
- Compare function is AppleScript-able.
HexEditor v1.4
- Best display, well organised, easy to read.
- Shortcomings: Arrow keys don't work properly; "open" doesn't go into app bundles, no decimal addresses, no case-insensitive ASCII search, no "go to address", no offset display.
- "Open special" works for paths, but not for special files (contrary to its description).
- Has synch display for multiple files (but no real file compare).
- Basic online help.
0xED v1.0.2
- Interface clearly Cocoa, but needs more work. The only one with a fully resizable window. Everything listed under "shortcomings" for HexEditor works properly here.
- Flaws: No shift-click selection; switch to decimal address through preferences; "go to" under "find".
- No online help.
- Conclusion: Useful, but not as powerful as HexEdit. Interface needs some polish.

Best OS X hex editor - Version: 1.0.2, 5/16/2006 08:14AM PST

The best OS X hex editor so far. Fast stable and professional.
For instance, search for "string" in the following sentence:
This is a string containing multiple instances of the word "string", and it's a pretty long string indeed.
In TextEdit, move the cursor in between the "ng" of the last occurrence of "string" (or select the 'g'), and perform a Find Previous (FP). It will _not_ find this last occurrence (which makes sense because if the cursor is in it, the user will probably know it's there). 0xED however, will select this last occurrence no matter which byte of it is selected. And it's worse, when performing a subsequent FP, it will stick to this last occurrence.
Apparently, FP in 0xED is implemented as a regular "Find forward", but with a decrementing position counter instead of an incrementing one. This would be OK if the starting position would not be the start of the current selection, but N bytes before it, where N = the length of the search string.
For the rest, this editor has all the features I need. Keep up the good work!
