Description Aaron Williams 2022-02-25 10:35:28 UTC
SUMMARY
It would be nice if the data could be displayed as groups of 16, 32, or 64-bits on the left-hand side rather than clicking on the right to see the decoding table with options for little or big endian.

I often have to look at data files that contain 32 or 64-bit values. Bonus points if it can export that in text format.

With "left-hand side", you mean the byte value display (with the options binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal)? And with "right" the character display?
What do you mean exactly by "clicking on the right"? After all the decoding table also adapts to the cursor when placed/moved in the byte values view part?

What exactly do you mean by "groups of 16, 32, or 64-bits" or "32 or 64-bit values"? Integer values? 
If so, curious what use-case there is to combine view of 8-bit character set with mult-byte integer values? Would one not rather want to combine the single byte value (as the most common notation/interpretaion of the 8 bits of a byte) with whatever special data type those bytes are used for to encode?

Can you give a visual mockup how you would like to see the display done, and perhaps give a sample of the use-case you have?

So far I understand your request is a variant of bug 214131, just with multi-byte integer values instead of float or double?
