Description

Okteta is a simple editor for the raw data of files.

Values and characters shown either in two columns (the traditional display in hex editors) or in rows with the value on top of the character

Editing and navigating similar to a text editor

Customizable data views

Data view profiles

Tools dockable on all sides or floating

Numerical encodings: Hexadecimal, Decimal, Octal, Binary

Character encodings: All 8-bit encodings as supplied by Qt, EBCDIC

Fast data rendering on screen

Multiple open files

Support for remote files, by http, ftp, fish & other protocols supported by KDE Platform

Export of data to text, both file and clipboard.

Checksum/Hashsum calculator: Modular sum (8/16/32/64 bit), Adler-32, CRC-32 and Hashsums by the QCA2 library, can be SHA-0/1/224/256/384/512, MD2/4/5, RIPEMD-160, Whirlpool

Structures tool for analyzing and editing based on user-creatable structure definitions

Statistic tool

String extraction tool

8-bit charset conversion tool

Decoding table listing common simple data types.

Bookmarks

Printing

Table with complete list of all byte values

Data manipulation

Insert and Overwrite modes

Unlimited Undo - Redo operations

Find and Replace operations

Pattern insertion

Binary Filter tool with bitwise operations:
- AND filter
- OR filter
- XOR filter
- Inverse filter
- Shift filter
- Rotate filter
- Reverse filter

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

+=== "What about a diff tool?" === <!--T:24-->
-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 table listing all possible bytes with its' character and value equivalents, a info view with a statistic and a filter tool. All modifications to the data loaded can be endlessly undone or redone.
