I love writing detailed software reviews, in which I mercilessly point out problems even in top-rated, really high-quality products pf decent, capable developers. The vast majority of developers (yeah, I sometimes also receive flames) do read my reviews and try to improve on the problems I point out. This is advantageous for the entire Pocket PC community: after all, solid software products are released, which really add a lot to the usability of these devices.
One of the, in this respect, most responsive companies are the
S-K folks, the developers of, without doubt, the best all-in-one Pocket PC tool,
SKTools. It was just a few days ago that,
upon reviewing the, then, brand new 3.1.1.1 version I’ve pointed out it the missing functionality in the newly-added registry editor module. The excellent S-K folks didn’t leave it at that: they have implemented all this stuff at once, and released a public beta (
available for download here), in which, as of the current (3.1.1.4) version,
- binary search has been implemented; you can even switch between Unicode, ASCII and hexa (!) searches (see the above screenshot)
- hexadecimal DWORD value editing is already allowed
- support for importing REGEDIT4 files (in addition to version 5) added
This utility is getting better and better – now, in some respects (see for example hexadecimal or ASCII searches inside binary data), it’s better than
Resco Registry Editor!
