The data is displayed in the traditional view with two columns: one with the numeric values and one with the assigned characters. Editing can be done both in the value column and the character column. Besides the usual editing capabilities '''Okteta''' also brings a small set of tools, like a table listing decodings into common simple data types, a <menuchoice>table</menuchoice> listing all possible bytes with its character and value equivalents, a <menuchoice>info</menuchoice> view with a <menuchoice>statistic</menuchoice> and a <menuchoice>filter</menuchoice> tool. All modifications to the data loaded can be endlessly undone or redone.

FAQ

"What is the relation to KHexEdit?"

Okteta is an independent new project, with a completely different codebase and architecture, written from scratch, by a different author.

KHexEdit is discontinued for the KDE 4 series, as it hasn't had a real maintainer and the port to KDE 4 was only incomplete. Okteta is first included in the 4.1 release of KDE. So in fact Okteta is the successor to KHexEdit for KDE 4.

"Are very large files (up and larger than 1 GiB) supported?"

Not yet, as it is still subject of discussion how partial loading and the related issues should be reflected in the UI.

Currently a complete copy of the file is loaded into the working memory, so please be careful if the size of the file is close to the order of magnitude of the size of your working memory.

"What about a diff tool?"

A facility to view and work on differences between files and file versions is planned for later versions of Okteta.

Other Info

Structure definitions used by the Structures tool can be shared on https://store.kde.org/ (also used by the integrated sharing dialog in the Structures tool's configuration).

There are a few tutorials
