Excellent product! I've been using Charpad Pro now for at least 3 years, but I would love to see one new feature: Export map in 16-bit binary (both whole map and selected). I'm currently using C-language and it would be very useful.

At the moment I have a workaround. I export map as .asm and calculating 16-bit value from lo & hi bytes.

Hey,  thank you for your appreciation!

So in the last public release it is already possible to export map binaries in bit-depths greater than 8...

 - Import/Export >> Binary >> Export All (essentials, multiple files, configurable)

There you can select between 8, 12 or 16 bit and also between whole map, selected area and sub-maps.

Does this solve your request? or maybe you are wanting a single binary file containing lo,hi,lo,hi,lo,hi bytes etc

This is not yet available, having two arrays for the low, high bytes of 16-bit values seems to be the most commonly used way but there are definitely some further options that could be added to the current Import/Export system in future releases.

Cheers.
