Error in browsing hex files

[Eva Eden~]

Hi,

I found an error in the internal browser:

Whenever I view a hex file and go with backspace to a 0-byte previous file the first line of the last file will be displayed instead of (the 0-byte) nothing. This happens only during going back, going forward thru the files with space works right.

Thanks & regards

Hi Eva, I can reproduce this problem, thank you for reporting it! Will be fixed in Altap Salamander 2.52 beta 2.

Suddenly I'm unable to reproduce this problem (Windows Vista, Windows XP, AS 2.51 and AS 2.52 beta 1).

Could it depend on file content? Could you reproduce it?

EDIT: got it. View > Auto-Select option must be turned off to avoid displaying zero file in text mod.

Hi Jan,

the problem still remains! It has nothing to do with the Auto-Select option. And it's independent from file content.
Create or take existing hex file (e.g. b.hex) and take a second one with 0 byte named alphabetic before the hex file (e.g. a.txt). And then step thru the files with internal viewer with space / backspace. Step forward is OK, step backward not. 0-byte files will be diaplayed with the first line contend from the previous file.
When you switch view mode to hex subsequent, the display will be OK. The file must be recognized as a hex file!
Thx, Eva

he file must be recognized as a hex file!

Exactly. When you turn off the Auto-Select option and switch viewer to HEX mode, it will stay there.
Problem is fixed now, thank you.
