  • MarcEdit Start Page Changes

    **A number of members of the MarcEdit community provided feedback while working on these changes.  Specifically, Heidi Frank (NYU) and Jim Taylor (of http://jtdata.com) for contributing their time and some artistic skill in creating some of the new functional icons. In addition to a handful of bug fixes and enhancements, one of the big changes…

  • MarcEdit Wireframes

    I’ve been spending some time over the past week drawing up a few new wireframes for MarcEdit.  Part of this is because I’d like to update the program’s look and feel, part of it is that I’m moving some code around so if I ever get a Mac mini for testing, I can start working…

  • June 2013: MarcEdit Top 25 Country usage

    One of the fun things about moving my content off the Oregon State network and onto my own domain is that I get to use my own statistics package and it’s allowing me to gather a little more granularity in my statistics, which is fun.  I always find it interesting looking at where MarcEdit is…

  • MarcEdit 5.9 Update

    For those of you in the United States, I hope that you have had a happy Independence Day.  Being our first in Columbus, my family spent last night watching the city fireworks and today with family enjoying time together.  In between last night and this morning, I completed work on a small MarcEdit update to…

  • MarcEdit 5.9 Update – ALA Edition

    While all you suckers are stuck in Chicago, I figured I’d take a few minutes between caving in Ohio and chatting with my parents whom are visiting from Oregon to push out a MarcEdit update.  Nothing earth shattering…few bug fixes and a few enhancements.  Here’s the list: Enhancement: Merge Record Function — enhanced editions check…

  • MarcEdit 5.9 Update Posted

    I just posted a new update.  The update includes a major rewrite of the merge algorithm, as well as a few bug fixes and small enhancements.  Here’s the list: Update: Merge Function — this is a rewrite.  The function was rewritten to provide a bit more flexibility, better performance, and a framework for exposing the…

  • MarcEdit Swap Field function updates

    I meant to post this earlier, but then got busy with travel.  Three weeks ago, I was sitting down to make a few changes to the swap field function in MarcEdit and realized after scanning the function, I couldn’t remember how it worked.  This doesn’t happen very often (I probably over document my code), but…

  • MarcEdit platform testing

    Just a couple of notes.  I’ve been spending quite a bit of time as of late testing the current MONO builds against the current MarcEdit codebase.  It looks like the latest stable version works just fine with the program, while the 3.0.x branch has a few rendering issues (not sure if they are mine or…

  • MarcEdit 5.9 Hotfix

    Sorry folks — apparently a hotfix Microsoft pushed out caused the setup tool I used to corrupt when working with 64-bit systems.  I’ve removed the hotfix and rebuilt both version (32 and 64) of the program and it looks like things are in good shape now. If you tried updating today and had trouble, give…

  • MarcEdit and Linux/Mac

    So, I’ve been having a few more questions asking about how to setup MarcEdit on Linux and a Mac.  In general, the program works very well on both platforms, but takes a bit of know-how to get them running.  This is primarily due to the Z39.50 components that I link to.  On Linux, installation is…
