  • MarcEdit 7 Update Notes

    I’ll be officially cutting the new branch of MarcEdit 7 for all the code in the project following the next release of MarcEdit 6.3.x.  The first thing I’ll be doing is updating all the dependencies to the new version of .NET 4.6.x essentially ending Windows XP support for MarcEdit 7.  I’ll be updating namespaces, and…

  • MarcEdit 7’s new Help System: A first look

    Over the next few months, as I work on MarcEdit 7, I’ll be periodically slipping some of this functionality in the MarcEdit 6 series to give folks an opportunity to provide feedback.  The new Help system is the first of these kinds of improvements.  I’ll be using the last remaining updates in the version 6…

  • MarcEdit Linked Data Rules Files Enhancements

    I’m working on a couple enhancements to the MarcEdit Linked Data rules file to accommodate proposals being generated by the PCC regarding the usage of the $0 and the $1 in MARC21 records.  Currently, MarcEdit has the ability to generate $0s for any controlled data within a MARC record, so long as a webservice for…

  • MarcEdit, Windows XP, and what the way too early log analysis says

    Related post: MarcEdit and the Windows XP Sunsetting conversation So, this has been kind of interesting.  Since Sunday, I’ve been running a script against my access logs to get a better idea of what the MarcEdit XP user community may look like.  I timed this with the update, because I’ve found that in general, a large…

  • Can my ILS be added to MarcEdit’s ILS Integration?

    This question has shown up in my email box a number of times over the past couple of days.  My guess, it’s related to the youtube videos recently posted demonstrating how to setup and use MarcEdit directly with Alma. Windows Version: https://youtu.be/8aSUnNC48Hw Mac Version: https://youtu.be/6SNYjR_WHKU   Folks have been curious how this work was done, and if…

  • MarcEdit 7 Upgrade Advisor

    This post is related to the: MarcEdit and the Windows XP Sunsetting conversation I’ll be updating this periodically, but I wanted to make this available now.  One of the biggest changes related to MarcEdit 7, is that I’m interested in building against an updated version of the .NET framework.  Tentatively, I’m looking to build against the…

  • MarcEdit and the Windows XP Sunsetting conversation

    I’m again thinking about the need to seriously think about Windows XP and MarcEdit’s continued support for the nearly 20 year old OS.  What is pushing this again is the integration work I’ve been doing with Alma.   None of this work will be available to XP users, in part, because ExLibris (and rightly) uses…

  • How do I know I’m running in 32 bit mode (if I’m on a 64-bit system) and when (mostly never) would I want to

    As a rule, you shouldn’t be running in 32-bit mode when working on a 64-bit system.  In fact, MarcEdit is compiled in a way so that the program will run automatically at the appropriate bit depth for your operating system.  So, if you have a 32-bit system, MarcEdit will automatically be configured to run in…
