When loading a file, what is "Record width" typically used for?
In invocation options:
+nnn Load binary file(s) that follow in record width nnn.
But in the help index for RecordWidth it specifically mentions fixed-width ASCII files.
The other day, I used this feature for the first time (other than for the very odd ASCII Table file).
I have a fixed-record size binary file.
Unfortunately#1: while the record width works, Slick displays the file as text.
I was hoping for hex.
Seems odd since from the documentation, seems like fixed-width files are probably usually binary anyways.
Unfortunately#2: Hex view in Slick always displays files in records of 16 bytes - ignoring the record-width of the file.
It would be nice if HexView had some flexibility on the number of columns.
Could be like a debugger memory view window that lets you pick with data type (uint8, 16, 32, 64, 128) and width and perhaps byte-order (lsb, msb).
Sorta OK: Line-hex works with record-width, but the vertically displayed hex digits are less than ideal.
