--- Comment #1 from Friedrich W. H. Kossebau <kosse...@kde.org> ---
Hi Henry Pfeil, I am sorry Okteta does not serve your personal needs, and you
only found out after trying it that it does not meet your criteria for what is
"useful".
Yet, for those who just need to peek and twist small-sized files even on 64-bit
address systems (like myself) it works good enough.
And yes, I would have liked to have time to implement support for endlessly
sized data since the very start two decades ago (should be documented in code
even), but always had too many other interesting things to do in life (the
answer to: " why not a 64-bit version"). No reason though to no longer share
the fruits of my former work with others under the GPL, which explicitly states
that such licensed program is provided

Would it have helped you if the description of the program (as done in the app
metadata) would explicitly hint that there is a limit in supported file sizes?
Might consider adding that there, to save people time and frustrations (but
only when people actually read that and not just go ahead based on their
assumptions :) ).
For your needs, you might consider also giving wxhexeditor or ImHex a try (not
tested myself).
