Some feedback. First, let me tell you I love this nifty little app. Very useful indeed. All my comments are just minor things:
By default it is installed in the Science category. I think it should go to Development, although others might of course think otherwise.
There is no need for the "Exit" menu entry. In fact people won't expect it and may confuse it for "Edit" as I did - and get a surprise
Some help would be nice. It did not take me long to work out what the A, B, C registers are for but still.
Switching to fewer bits and back clears the top bits. This should not happen. At least not in the signed mode: it should sign-extend when switching from e.g. 8 to 16 bits.
The ASCII fields are not necessarily ASCII. By that I mean non-ASCII values are not suppressed. This can be considered a feature of course.
It would be nice to have an option to save the current state on exit. I would even welcome that as the default.
It would be nice to have a "Clear" button, although not really necessary as one could just type 0 in the "dec" or "hex" edit box.
It would be nice to have a switch between little and big endian. Probably only useful for the ASCII representation and that can be easily reversed so perhaps not that important.
I am probably too young for that and have never seen the point but some people might like the conversion to/from octal base (did you realize that there is no way to type a decimal integer zero in C?
).
As mentioned, these are all minor things and most of them are just ideas thrown in for a consideration. All in all a very useful thing, thanks for that!
