Thank you for the feedback.

It is really hard to choose. So at sourceforge it is in category Science & Engineering->Scientific/Engineering.
You want it in development. However you can nothing develop with it (like it is described in maemo wiki deployment).
Sixwheeledbeast send me a control file with utilities. Regarding the wiki, tools should go under utilities category.
My decision now is: "utilities" category.

Done.

Ok I see. I will implement a small help. You also can read the first post.

I think it is okay because they don't exists in fewer bits. Hmm "sign-extend" sorry I don't get it. I thought it is zero-extention.
In principle these radiobutton doesn't make a cast it is only a general configuration and can't be applied to single register.

Then it is a feature.

I don't like it as default. But maybe I will implement an option to load/save the settings when start/close the application. For the next release there will be only a save and load menu entry.

There is now a clear button (clears current register) and a "clear all" menu entry (clears all registers).

Yes not that important.

Done.

Be happy to update to a next release later today.
