Users can now synchronize the content of the pattern editor with a file
on disk when exporting a pattern. Any modifications made in the pattern
editor are automatically saved to the file and when the pattern editor
gains focus it will automatically load any changes to the file on disk.
This feature is brand new and can have unforeseen problems so test it
fully before risking losing work.
Added major changes to how the text editor handles utf8 characters with
the added ability to obtain them using the [] operator and column
coordinates as indices. Sanitize coordinates was renamed to Set
Coordinates and can be used instead of the constructor to guarantee no
out of range asserts and/or exceptions. Improved move left and right
readability and cursor accuracy when clicking. Fixed single character
selection by double-clicking it. Deleted old and unused code and other
changes that I can't remember about atm.
These changes are part of an effort aimed at removing tabs from ImHex
that started some time ago. Here text preprocessing is removed from all
the places were it was done before and moved to the places where files
are read that go in the pattern editor with two notable exceptions.
1) Pattern import reads patterns in order to present a list that can be
filtered.That can safely ignore preprocessing since only needs to get
information needed to filter.
2) The pattern editor can incorporate text from the clipboard so that
needs to be preprocessed as well.
find/replace is unable to add tabs or carriage returns so this should
cover all angles.
The scrollbar, mini map and the segment delimiters were also using the
incorrect bytes per row value when changing data size forced a change in
the number of bytes per row. From the definition of the new value it
follows that bytesPerRow/bytesPercell == m_bytesPerRow/bytesPerCell, so
it is not necessary to switch it when it is divided by that quantity.
The error was that if `m_bytesPerRow` was not divisible by the number of
bytes per column then ImHex would crash but wouldn't crash if it was.
When `m_bytesPerRow` is not equal to the resultant bytes per row
obtained by the product of column count and bytes per column, then the
later bytes per row were be allocated but the former bytes per row were
being written causing heap corruption and crashes.
Instead of resetting `m_bytePerRow` when it can't be used, a new
variable (`bytesPerRow`) is created with the correct value and used in
the rest of the function. This way if the user goes back to choose a
data size that divides the old `m_bytesPerRow` then the number would
still be available and not overwritten. Test indicate that this approach
works and previous crashes are eliminated while producing the desired
output.
Added clion-like bracket matching feature with shortcut to go to the
other one. Also improved some cumbersome repeated function call.
Added support for using negative indices in coordinates so -1 is the last
line or column, -2 the previous, etc..
Pattern library has fixes for column errors being incorrectly set for lines
containing tabs that are not replaced by 4 spaces.
Fix a typo in `screenshot_descriptions.json` reported in #2330. While I
was presented with the contributing doc, I came across another typo
that's fixed in the second commit.
allows the ability to assign colors to global placed and non-placed
variables, pattern, local and calculated pointer variables, template
arguments, function variables and arguments, etc etc etc. It
accomplishes this using the parser and the token sequence generated by
the lexer. It still uses the original colorizing code but the underlying
data holding the pattern has been updated to be easier to use and to
debug. The changes are too numerous to cite here.It is a big but
necessary step to bring the pattern editor to a somewhat useful state.
There may be one commit in the pattern language repo needed to be able
to run this code
Following the documentation (which is not being updated for this type)
on using `hex::type::Instruction` fails to produce any patterns
regardless of how you format the string that is passed to capstone to
select architecture and options.
The error is traced back to mishandling the input string so that the
correct parts are not selected properly. Rather than manually selecting
the parts of the input string from the result of find it is much simpler
to use splitString() (which uses find internally) and does all the work
for us with fewer chances for errors.
There are still problems. The resulting string for the formatter doesn't
return the disassembled instruction and prints the variable name with
the @ used to place it. To view the instruction you need to unseal the
pattern and open the child which then shows the instruction. That only
happens after this fix has been applied.
Feature description
This pull request introduces full Polish language support to ImHex.
It is a new feature that allows users to switch the UI to Polish,
improving accessibility for Polish-speaking users.
Implementation description
-Translated a total of 10 JSON language files into Polish (pl_PL.json)
-All translations were done manually, with the help of tools such as
DeepL, large language models (LLMs), and technical dictionaries
-Validated the JSON files using [jsonlint.com](https://jsonlint.com/)
-Performed initial UI testing — all translated strings appear and render
correctly
Screenshots
Below is an example of the UI in Polish:
Additional things
-I'm a beginner with both ImHex and English, so I may have missed some
things
-I'm fully open to any suggestions or corrections — whether related to
translation accuracy or JSON formatting/style
-I would greatly appreciate it if the reviewer could:
-Confirm that the project still compiles correctly (it built fine on my
side using ninja)
-Check that the pl_PL.json files are properly formatted and follow the
project's standards
If there are preferred tools or workflows for validating and formatting
JSON in this repository, I’d be happy to adopt them in the future.
