SaveEditors Fork Updates

• Fixed CodeView LF_ARRAY imports so byte lengths are converted into the correct element counts.
• Fixed .pdata handling so imported entries become real Ghidra functions instead of label-only symbols.
• Release zips for the fork are published on the Releases page.

Requires the minimum Java version required by your Ghidra install.

Build

This extension is built using the Gradle support files that ship with Ghidra. The required Java and Gradle versions come from:

<GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR>\Ghidra\application.properties

Do not edit those values in Ghidra just to build this project. Instead, use a JDK and Gradle version that satisfy your installed Ghidra release.

For Ghidra 12.0.4, the current minimums are:

application.java.min=21
application.gradle.min=8.5

This fork was validated against Ghidra 12.0.4, JDK 21, and Gradle 9.3.1.

Example:

$env:GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR='A:\Tools\ghidra_12.0.4_PUBLIC'
$env:JAVA_HOME='A:\Tools\jdk-21'
gradle buildExtension

If you are building from Eclipse or another IDE, make sure it uses a compatible JDK and Gradle version for the Ghidra version you are targeting.
