Opening the file

Before we can do anything else, we need to open the file.

We can do this either through the GUI or the command line.

Gui

In the top menu bar, click File->Open..., or press ctrl + O.

This opens a file dialog where you can pick the file you want to open.

The file dialog is powered by egui-file-dialog. You can look at a list of key bindings here.

Command Line

Hexerator offers a rich command line API. But for the simple case of opening a file, we can just provide the path to the file as the argument.

$ hexerator SAVE0.ITD
