  • MarcEdit Update: Windows/Linux

    The past 3 weeks, I’ve been doing a lot of work on MarcEdit.  These initial changes impact just the windows and linux version of MarcEdit.  I’ll be taking some time tomorrow and Wed. to update the Mac version.  The current changes are as follows: 6.2.190* Enhancement: Language files have been updated* Enhancement: Command-line tool: -task…

  • MarcEdit: Running Additional Validation processes from the command-line

    MarcEdit’s command-line function has always had the ability to run validation tasks against the MarcEdit rules file.  However, the program hasn’t included access to the cleaning functions of the validator.  As of the last update, this has changed.  If the —validate command is invoked without a rules file defined, the program will validate the structure…

  • MarcEdit: Running Tasks via the command-line

    MarcEdit’s task list functionality has made doing repetitive tasks in MarcEdit a fairly simple process.  But one limitation has always been that the tasks must be run from within MarcEdit.  Well, that limitation has been lifted.  As of the last update, a new option has been added to the command-line tool: —task.  When run with…

  • MarcEdit Linked Data Platform–custom linking indexes

    Over the past year and half, I’ve been working with MarcEdit to provide the ability for users interested in doing URI entification against various known vocabularies, as well as adding these vocabularies into an authority processing workflow.  The processes work well for the handful (15-20) defined indexes that MarcEdit currently queries.  But long-term, libraries may…

  • MarcEdit Update

    Last night, I posted an update squashing a couple bugs and adding some new features.  Here’s the change log: * Bug Fix: Merge Records Tool: If the user defined field is a title, the merge doesn’t process correctly.* Bug Fix: Z39.50 Batch Processing: If the source server provides data in UTF8, characters from multi-byte languages…

  • MarcEdit Alma Integration

    Over the past month, I’ve been working with ExLibris (thank you to Ori Miller at ExLibris) and Boston College (thanks to Margaret Wolfe) to provide direct integration between MarcEdit and Alma via the Alma Apis.  Presently, the integration allows users to search, create, and update records.  Setup is pretty easy (I think) and once you…

  • MarcEdit Update

    Yesterday, I posted a significant update to the Windows/Linux builds and a maintenance update to the Mac build that includes a lot of prep work to get it ready to roll in a number of changes that I’ll hopefully complete this week.  Unfortunately, I’ve been doing a lot of travelling, which means that my access…

  • MarcEdit and Windows XP

    I’ve been supporting XP now for close to 15 years in MarcEdit, and I’m finding the number of areas in the code where I have to work around XP limitations is continually growing. The tipping point for me occurred about a month ago, when I had to write a new URI parser because the version…

  • MarcEdit Updates

    This weekend, I posted a new MarcEdit update.  This is one of the biggest changes that I’ve made in a while.  While the actual changelog is brief — these changes represented ~17k lines of code Windows (~10K not related to UI work) and ~15.5k lines of code on the OSX side (~9K not related to…

  • MarcEdit Mac: Export Tab Delimited Records

    As part of the last update, I added a new feature that is only available in the Mac Version of MarcEdit at this point.  One of the things that had been missing in the Export Tab Delimited Tool was the ability to save and load one’s export settings.  I added that as part of the…
