Re: How to stop forced HEX mode

I have a file I want to view with PSPad. Since it contains hex/packed data, PSPad forces HEX mode while Notepad does not and shows viewable text, which is what I want since I don't want to edit it.

Hi,
I believe, disabling the detection of binary files should help in this case (if you aren't editing the file):
Settings: Program settings:
[Direct edit]

in the section Special settings - set:
AutoDetectBinary=0

hth,

That worked. Thanks.
