⚠️ [HELP WANTED] ⚠️

[WerWolv]

This issue is a curration of various problems / missing features where help would be greatly appreciated and that are probably not very difficult to implement / get started with if you have more knowledge about the subject than I do

• Apple M1/M2 Support ([Feature] macOS native arm64 builds #1109 for discussion)
  • [] The Apple M1/M2 package is currently distributed as a zip file because packaging a dmg from Linux didn't work properly.
  • ImHex can be built using both GCC and Clang but requires too new features for AppleClang to work. Since GitHub also still doesn't have any free M1 runners, we're cross compiling ImHex to ARM from a Linux machine.
• Provider Undo/Redo weirdness
  • Modifying bytes in ImHex currently writes them to a list of patches (and creates a simple undo tree) before saving them to Disk when the user presses CTRL + S
  • Undoing changes after they have been saved to disk behaves weirdly
  • There are certain "immediate" modifications like removing bytes, inserting bytes or resizing the file that will be written to disk immediately and cannot be undone
  • A better Undo/Redo stack solution needs to be used with a better way of handling these things
• Restructuring of various options
  • Certain menu items are in weird places that don't make sense to most users
  • The Settings menu is extremely cluttered and contains various options that probably should be integrated elsewhere (all the hex editor options for example)
• https://pl.werwolv.net needs major improvements
  • I'm no Web Developer so most of the UI code can probably be replaced entirely if so desired
  • Repo: https://github.com/WerWolv/PatternLanguageWeb
• Simple Error log uploading infrastructure
  • There's two parts to this
    • The part where ImHex displays an option to upload the current crash information after a crash
    • The api endpoint that accepts these crash information and forwards them to e.g a Discord channel
• Pattern Language Error messages need improvements
  • The Pattern Language already tries to display helpful error messages where possible, however in certain cases they are still non-sensical, especially when unknown syntax is being used

Contact me on Discord (@WerWolv#1337) if you'd like to help with any of these issues. Thanks a lot!
