Selections and Regions

Now that we have determined where the thumbnail for the save file is, we should note it down, and also inform Hexerator about it.

A-B selection

First, let's select the thumbnail. The easiest way we can do this is with a-b selection. We'll use the hex view, since it has bigger elements that are easier to click.

  • First, click the hex view, then press ctrl+Home (scroll to beginning) to make sure you're scrolled at the beginning of the view.
  • Then click the first byte of the view, and press shift+1 (a-select).

  • The click the last byte of the thumbnail, and press shift+2 (b-select).
