What's new in Synalyze It!

Here you find the latest new features of Synalyze It!.
Some of them are only available in the Pro version you find in the Mac App Store.



Version 1.8

Version 1.7

Version 1.6

Version 1.5

Version 1.4

Version 1.3

The most important extension is the script editor in Synalyze It! Pro that lets you automize tasks and extend the functionality of the application. Additionally to Lua you can script now in Python which is better suited to work on binary data.
Other changes:

Version 1.2

Binary and number elements can have now arbitrary bit lengths (numbers up to 64 bit). This enables users to process many more file formats that work on sub-byte entities.
Additionally numbers can be displayed binary which is useful especially for numbers consisting not of a multiple of 8 bit.

Bit fields


Reparse files manually. In the preferences you can disable now the automatic parsing of file and trigger the structure mapping manually. This helps when working on large files that need some seconds to be processed.

When you open a file where a grammar is available either opened, installed or remote, Synalyze It! can suggest one of these grammars. In the preferences dialog you can choose if you want suggestions and how.
If you create a grammar that could be useful also for other people, please use the publish button in the file menu.
