An Editing Interface includes all of the following options: Font, Addresses, Width, Group By, Areas, Character Set, Highlight, Division Lines, and Endian (see under the View menu). Consult Working with Interfaces for more information. By default, all files and processes share one editing interface and drives share another interface; however, different interfaces can be generated and applied automatically to different files by file type. The Interface Options dialog allows creating or deleting interfaces for editing. Access this dialog by clicking the 'Tools > Options...' menu option and selecting Interfaces from the list, or by clicking 'View > Interfaces > Edit Interfaces...'.

A list of all available editing interfaces is displayed at the top of the dialog. Clicking the New button will generate a new interface. Select an item from the list and click Delete to remove an interface. Clicking the up or down arrows will change the position of the interface in the list.

After an interface is selected from the list, options for that interface will be displayed in the Interface Options box. Enter a name for the interface in the Name field. This name will appear under the 'View > Interfaces' menu. Clicking the Visible toggle provides any easy way to show or hide the interface on the menu.

When a file is opened, it is automatically assigned to an interface based on the File Mask field. The file mask may contain the characters '*' or '?' to indicate wildcards and is not case sensitive. For example, use '*.bmp' to match all BMP files, or 'C:\temp\*.0??' to match all files under the temporary directory with an extension starting with '0'. If multiple masks match a file, the last matching interface in the list will be applied to the file. Note that if no file masks match the file, the first interface will automatically be applied.

All created interfaces can be accessed by clicking the 'View > Interfaces' menu option. The 'View > Interfaces > Create New Interface' menu option provides any easy way to generate a new interface for a file type (see View Menu for more information).

The following Interfaces are available by default:

• Default - Describes an interface for editing files or processes.

• Drives - Describes an interface for editing logical or physical drives.

The Reset button will restore all interfaces to their original values.
