Oprócz wbudowanych szablonów, edytor dysku obsługuje niestandardowe szablony, aby przeglądać i edytować różne struktury dysku. Warunki, przejścia, proste arytmetyce można stosować do analizy złożonych struktur disku, takich jak rekordy MFT.
Standardowo szablony są ładowane z pliku template.txt. Aby korzystać z innych plików, ini-parametr mogą być stosowane editortemplates=, symbole wieloznaczne są dozwolone (na przykład, editortemplates=template*).
Każdy szablon zaczyna się od nazwy w nawiasach kwadratowych [Template Name], i dalsze parametry szablonu i instrukcji (jeden na linię).
flow:0 - wyświetlić jeden rekord na raz. flow:1 - wyświetlić rekordy jeden po drugim.
big-endian:1 - use big-endian byte order.
h:Header - statyczny nagłówek Header.
Stałe są określone jako dziesiętnych i szesnastkowym (z prefiksu 0x).
$RECSIZE - rozmiar rekordu
$NEXTOFS - ... na blokach danych
$OFFSET - dodatkowe względne przesunięcia stosowany jest na blokach danych
$1 ... $4 - globalne zmienne użytkownika (64-bitowa liczb całkowitych)
$varname - a local variable (64-bit signed integer), where
varname is case-sensitive and may contain digits, latin letters, and underscores.
A local variable must be initialized with the assignment operator :=
and is valid only within the block of instructions where it is initialized.
Data block is usually a single byte/word/dword at a fixed position but it also may be any range(s) of record bytes/bits which are processed as a single variable. Data block is specified in braces {...}.
{Z} defines range of Z bytes starting at offset
$NEXTOFS
(and $NEXTOFS is increased by Z then);
{X,Z} defines range of Z bytes starting at offset X,
{X:Y,Z} defines range of Z bits starting at offset X byte and Y bits,
where X, Y, and Z may be any variables or constants,
several ranges may be separated by a semicolon, e.g. {0x00,4;$1:$2,4}.
Format defines how data block is represented and edited (e.g. as integer / char / string, etc.).
The following formats are supported:
%u - unsigned integer (up to 64bit)
%d - signed integer (up to 64bit)
%X / %x - hexadecimal (up to 64bit)
%c - ANSI character (8bit)
C - array of ANSI characters
U - array of Unicode characters (UTF-16)
u - Łańcuch zakodowany w utf-8
T - array of text characters (depending on encoding table)
UNIXDATE - Unix date (seconds since epox)
FILETIME - Windows file time (nanoseconds since 1601)
F:ABCD.. - Flags (where A is displayed if bit 0 set, and B if bit 0 clear, etc.)
Output instruction defines the position on the screen and format for a data block or variable or simply outputs text.
{...},x:X,w:W,c:C,f:Format outputs data block {...} at column X with the max. width W.
x:X,w:W,c:C,f:Text outputs Text at column X with the maximum width W
in color C.
w:W, c:C jest opcjonalny
(0 - kolor domyślne, 1 - tytuł,
8 - czerwony, 10 - szary).
= (equal sign) specifies end of line (line feed).
Expression is a combination of variables, constants, data blocks, and operators
(~,
NOT;
*,
/,
%;
+,
-;
<<,

<,
<=,

AND;
OR), e.g.
$2+{0x08:$1,5}
Assignment operator := is used to copy the result of the expression to the variable,
e.g.
$1:=$2+{0x08:$1,5}
$2:=$OFFSET & 8
Line LABEL:N defines a label, and instruction GOTO:N is a jump to line LABEL:N, where N is any constant. Inaccurate use of GOTO may cause infinite loop.
The switch instruction $1:=TOGGLE:N,x:X outputs a toggle box [+] ([-]) at the column X of the current output line, where N is a unique switch number (a variable or constant); and the variable $1 takes value 0 or 1 depending on the switch state (toggling is by clicking the box or by pressing [Spacebar] when focused). This allows changing the template output on the fly (e.g. to expand / collapse structures, where switch number N is convenient to set equal to the structure offset).
The hot link instruction $VAR=Param makes a current output line a hot link, i.e.
allows jumping to an object offset / record / or to open another linked object in the editor window
by double clicking a line (or by hitting [Enter] key when the line of focused).
Param is an expression value used by a link (an offset, record, file number, sector, etc.) and
$VAR can be one of the following:
$GOTOREC, $GOTORECOFS - go to the specified record number and record offset of the object
$GOTOOFS - go to the specified object offset
$OPENLBA - open the specified disk sector
$OPENVOLSEC - open the specified
volume sector
$OPENCLUSTER - open the specified
volume cluster
$OPENVOLPAGE - open the specified
volume page / object id
$OPENFILENUM - open a file by the specified number
$OPENFILERECOFS - open a file by FS entry offset in the object
$OPENATTROFS - open a data stream by FS attribute entry offset in the object.
Optionally specify a template to apply to the opened object by the instruction:
$OPENTEMPLATE='{GUID}';
specify a template record offset:
$OPENTEMPLOFS=Param.
Record size calculation: instructions between lines CALCSIZESTART and CALCSIZEEND. It is used when record size may be greater than the sector size and may depend on disk data. Variable $RECSIZE may be assigned in this section only.
Data preprocessing: instructions between lines LOADSTART and LOADEND. It is used e.g. for MFT USN processing (restoration of last two bytes of each sector). Data blocks may be assigned in this section: e.g., use {U,Y}:={X,Y} to copy Y bytes at offset X to offset U.
Data postprocessing: instructions between lines FLUSHSTART and FLUSHEND. It is used for reverse operation when writing modified data to disk (data blocks may be assigned).
