PICT files not well supported
I don’t think this application solves my niche problem any better than stuff I already have (Graphic Converter and iDraw). Although the application claims support for old file types like .PICT, I’m not having much luck with them. My files are from .pict files exported from Claris CAD and such. Maybe they’ve lost their resource fork or something. Maybe you have to tag an extension onto them or maybe it’s just not possible to read the old .PICT files when they have vector information in them. Most are called a Unix executable file by the current Finder and that’s what this app calls them but they don’t get displayed. I’ve been looking for this for a long time with no luck.
In Hex format it would be nice to see the ASCII and HEX linkage
It’s very difficult to coorelate the HEX and ASCII when viewing. It would be nice to move the mouse over an ASCII character and see the cooresponding HEX be highlighted. Or, it would be nice if the ASCII was clustered into 4 character groups to match with the 8 HEX groups. As a result, you spend a lot of time counting characters into the displayed field to match them up.
Good - If the files is supported
If the file type that you’re trying to view is supported it works great. Sadly it doesn’t report much information on MP3 or other audio files.
The text view is pretty cool though. Definitely worth a look!
