Bookmarks

A.X.E. provides you with powerful bookmarks, and a bookmark archive that you can save and load lists of bookmarks with. A.X.E.'s bookmarks also let you get more functionality from structures by associating a structure with a given offset in the data.

What does an A.X.E. bookmark consist of?
An A.X.E. bookmark has the following attributes:

OFFSET: Where in the document the bookmark is set. If you insert bytes before a bookmark, the bookmark's offset will change so that it is still placed on the same data as before.
NAME: The name of the bookmark.
STRUCTURE: May be blank. If not blank, then this is the name of a structure associated with the bookmark.
LINELENGTH: May be blank. If not, then this is the number of bytes-per-row with which the data at the bookmark is to be displayed.

Bookmarks are 'applied' when they are double clicked on in the regular hex view, OR when they are clicked on in the workspace pane, OR when the rectangular tab representing the bookmark is double clicked, in graphical view.

When a bookmark is applied, the view jumps to that bookmark (i.e. the bookmark's offset becomes the lowest offset visible). If a structure was specified, then that structure is set to be the current one for the current view. If a line length was specified, then the view's bytes-per-row is changed to that linelength.

Bookmarks may be viewed, created and deleted in a bookmark selection dialog accessed by the Structures/Edit Bookmarks command. They may be edited in a dialog, accessible from the bookmark selection dialog or by right clicking on a bookmark.

Bookmarks can be loaded from and saved to the bookmark archive. This is done from the bookmark view on the workspace window. Use the right-click menu to create, save, load and delete lists of bookmarks.

You can drag bookmarks about in the main hex editing views, and you can right click on them to edit them without having to bring up the bookmark list.
