Project System and Versioning

Projects​

A project groups multiple versions of the same binary file. With the project system enabled, BitEdit 2 automatically creates a project when you open a binary for the first time.

Enabling/Disabling​

Toggle the project system in Options → Editing → Hints, Versions, Projects. When disabled:

  • No versions are maintained
  • The Ribbon simplifies (project commands removed)
  • Save behaves like Export Dump

Project Storage​

Projects are stored in the Application Data folder (%LocalAppData%\EasyTuner\Projects). You can change the project folder location in Options → Main Settings → Language and Paths.

Versions​

A version is a named, timestamped snapshot of the binary. Versions are immutable — to save changes, create a new version.

Version Control Panel​

The Version Control tool panel shows all versions in the current project. Operations:

  • Create — save the current state as a new named version
  • Checkout — switch to a specific version (double-click also works)
  • Revert to Original — reset to the stock binary

Auto-versioning​

Enable automatic version creation on save in Options → Editing → Hints, Versions, Projects → Version Control System.

Diff Viewer​

Compare any two versions in the project:

  1. Open the diff viewer from the Ribbon (View Diff)
  2. Select the two versions to compare
  3. Navigate the diff tree to see per-map differences
  4. Each map shows current vs. compared values side by side

The diff viewer provides both map-level and hex-level comparison.
