Good: Byte Map works fast on gigabytes of data (unlike entropy analysis)
Bad: I don't find useful scrolling through millions of lines in most cases

It would be nice if the map was compacted to a single page to have an overview of the file.
Maybe this could be a completely separate window.

it could be a good idea, however I have some doubts on very big files (say 1GB and more) where compressing to much the image could not make a lot of sense. For shortening the depth of the image you can set the columns number to maximum, when you go over 512 columns the pixel size of every single bytes becomes smaller, did you try it?

I see, pixels get smaller (940 max), but it is still not useful to get a quick overview of the whole file system.

I see, I'll keep this feature request for the next releases, thank you for your idea
