Hi,

Is it possible to manually edit the wallet.dat file to enter say address details without having to go through the process on the program interface?

Regards,

Jack

No.

For example I want to add multiple bitcoin addresses.

What tools are available?

As w00dy said so, pywallet would do this easily
You put all your private keys with their labels in a file and it imports them all

Yes, it is actually.  Inserting a keypair manually into the wallet.dat file is possible, and there's readily available documentation on the structure of the raw wallet file.

Although I cant make any promises yet, I am, in fact, right now working on a stand-alone wallet.dat editor allowing you to view, edit, import/export and manage your private keys.

I will make an announcement here on the forums once a first testing alpha becomes ready!

Been a long time...

Any news?

Is there a wallet editor available somewhere?

I use pywallet....
