Status
For Qt 5, only version 5.15.2 or higher is supported, and for Qt 6, only version 6.6.2 or higher is supported. Other lower versions are not supported due to missing APIs of key libraries and some bugs of their own.
The repository code compiles with Qt 5.15.2 and 6.6.2 on the latest versions of Windows and Ubuntu:
WingHexExplorer2
This software is a hexadecimal editor written in QT and developed in C++, providing a powerful and free hexadecimal editor. Currently, only 010 Editor has powerful hexadecimal editing functions, but it is commercial. Those who follow my development activities should know that I developed WingSummer.WingCloudHexExplorer developed in C# on Windows, with the purpose of facilitating professionals to modify and analyze PE files, and can be used as an important auxiliary tool for learning PE structure. In addition, I have developed WingHexExplorer adapted only for the Deepin platform, and its functions are basically complete. Except for the problem with the large file search function, the others can be used stably. I decided not to maintain WingHexExplorer anymore, and I will port and reset this project.
Why developping this project? What is the difference between WingHexExplorer2 and the original version? First of all, the interface is modified by myself based on the open source project, and I re-implemented my own interface to ensure the UI consistency across platforms. Although the functions are still a little problem compared to the original system, it is just a flaw in the ointment.
The ultimate goal of this project is to create a powerful, lightweight, and cross-platform (only for PC) hex editor. Of course, I cannot achieve this goal by myself, which is one of the purposes of my open source. I only maintain the operating system platform I use, and only respond to the bugs that I can fix on the platform I use in my free time.
If you find that the functions of this project do not meet your needs. Please check if there is any description in TODO.txt. If not, you can raise it through issue. I will evaluate whether the requirements raised are common. If it is a particularly private requirement, I will not implement it. If you really want to join, please implement the plug-in yourself, and you are also welcome to open source. Don't be fanciful when making suggestions. Please note that this software only provides the most basic hexadecimal editing and browsing services, such as templates and scripts in 010 Editor, which still need everyone to work together through plugins to achieve! I hope that everyone will not only raise requirements, but also put forward constructive suggestions and solutions to jointly maintain the open source community. Specific details will be introduced later.
License
This software complies with the AGPL-3.0 agreement. Please do not use it for purposes other than this agreement. My original intention was to make the Linux ecosystem more complete and to promote the localization of the operating system as soon as possible. Cross-platform software is just a by-product. I don't want the "vampires" to take the profits for themselves and do the dirty work for open source. It's all so natural. This is how open source is corrupted. I don't want to be involved in a lot of energy because of copyright issues.
If you want to use the code of this software for closed-source commercial code and want to lift the restriction of the GPL series that it must be open source, please consult me in person to discuss commercial licensing matters.
Usage Statement
- The source code of this software shall not be used for closed-source commercial purposes unless you open source it completely (as required by the GPL agreement). If you want to commercially close the code of the software warehouse, you must contact me to purchase a commercial license and sign a contract. Please contact me for the price. Please do not disturb me if you are not serious.
- This software was written in my spare time. Please forgive me for not being able to fix bugs or provide technical support in time.
- I am not a computer major, and there are inevitably bugs in the program I write. Welcome to submit PR.
- Whenever you have questions, please read the Wiki in detail.
For Packagers
First of all, I would like to express my sincere tanks for your enthusiastic help. As a free software, you can package and distribute it through legal channels without informing me under the condition of complying with the open source license and spirit. You can include your own information in the packaging information, but you must abide by the following agreements with me as the author of the software:
- The software package must contain the files
LICENSE,authorband.svg,licenseband.svg,screenshot.pngandREADME.md, and they must be placed in the same directory as the main program. These files are in the root directory of the project, just copy them. - Unless it is stated in advance that the software is modified, the package must not contain the main program compiled from the modified source code.
- The package must not contain content that infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of others, such as adding unauthorized paid content or computer viruses to it.
- It is best to contain the checksum of the main program in the package, but it is not mandatory.
- Regardless of the packaging format, its open source agreement and free attributes must be stated, and it is not allowed to hide and charge for it. Although I don't mind charging, the download server still needs money to maintain, but I hate charging by taking advantage of the information gap.
- Regardless of the purpose, if you do not obtain the authorization of me, you may not modify any network links pointed to and the ABOUT contents in the program, such as sponsorship and content about the software.
- You may not insert any plug-in containing commercial promotion in the installation program, and strictly abide by the content of the second article.

- If you find that the software does not provide support for your language, you can add it through pull request. Note that the translated text in the code is just an identifier, it may not be the real text, please refer to my Chinese to confirm the translation.
- For updates, major version plug-ins are incompatible. If there are any problems with the plug-in, please contact the developer (it is not ruled out that I will develop some plug-ins, so you can contact me directly).
All of the above, if you are a like-minded open source contributor, you are welcome to fork my repository for corresponding maintenance!
If a serious bug occurs, I may not respond in time, and I refuse any gossip from the moral high ground.
Without standing on the shoulders of giants, it will not have powerful and stable functions.The source code of the open source basic projects used in this software that have not been modified by me all comply with the open source agreement of the original author; The parts that I have modified, unless otherwise specified, all comply with the agreement of this repository.
