Just signed up to fulfill the request. I can give you a virtual machine with the specified requirements. Toss me a PM if interested.

That’d be awesome! Now all we need is @donho to agree to keep it in - if there’s still going to be a built in one built, then it might not be worth the effort. Let’s see what he says.

I’ll send you a PM.

Thank you!

Oh, I don’t think there is a PM function here - shoot me a mail at davegb at pobox dot com :)

All I want to do is to run the hex editor part of notepad++. I’ve downloaded the Hex edotr installed it in the plugins folder and NADA nothing. Can anyone help please?

@Jan-Jedryka

you can download the hex editor plugin here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/files/Hex Editor/Hex Editor Plugin v0.9.5/

choose the unicode version: HexEditor_0_9_5_UNI_dll.zip
extract the containing HexEditor.dll of this zip and copy it to your np++ folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins

if you’ve already done so, but it doesn’t show up, it might be because you have a 64 bit version of notepad++ and the hex editor plugin is a 32 bit only plugin as it is fairly old.

then you’d need to uninstall your current 64 bit notepad++,
download and install the 32 bit version of notepad++

ps: i can understand you very well as it can get very confusing around here.
your phrase "all i want to do is … " combined with a good and short description made my day and get’s a user’s needs straight to the point

Thank you. My problem is with 64-bit

@Jan-Jedryka Where did you download the hexeditor from for x64? The one from PluginManager is under https://github.com/chcg/NPP_HexEdit/releases/download/0.9.5.19/HexEditor_0.9.5.19_x64.zip as a unofficial fork of the 32bit one.

@chcg

cool, i completely missed out that you had the hexeditor plugin ported to x64.

do you use it yourself enough to tweak it a bit ?
if yes, would it be possible to implement a binary copy paste ?
(like the npp built in edit > paste special > copy/paste binary content, or using the npp built in binary safe copy paste routines)

because the normal hexedit plugin 0.9.5 behaviour, if you copy a hex string like:
aa 00 bb 00 cc 00
would be pasted the scintilla way as:
aa 20 bb 20 cc 20
replacing all nul characters with spaces

Created https://github.com/chcg/NPP_HexEdit/issues/5 therefore, but I don’t expect to work on that in the next few months. If someone want to create a PR I would appreciate it.
