I don’t usually post information about pending updates, but I want to prep users for an upcoming change.  In all versions of MarcEdit, the application installs all application and configuration files by default to the Program Files/MarcEdit 5.0/ directory.  To help make MarcEdit friendlier for Vista/Group managed XP systems, the next build is going to…

While I’ll have to admit that much of my time over the past two months has been sucked up by other commitments (like preparing my dosier for my six year review), I have had some time to make some significant changes to MarcEdit — at least — some significant changes to parts of the MarcEdit…

I’ve made a few updates that fix a few things with the MARCEngine COM object as well as the Tab Delimited wizard.  The big changes are to the MarcEngine.  I’m slowly starting to roll a few changes into the application that will eventually be used for UniMARC conversions.  Also, I’ve made some changes to the…

*Updated:*  Did a little more testing and this problem is related to characters not in the MARC8 character map (those broken in the MARC8 mnemonic that look like, for example: {88} or {89}.  These will translate to ? on the way back rather than keeping this character.  So, for most folks, you’d never see this…

I’ve been doing a little bit of MarcEdit work, refining a few of the function to try to make the program a little smarter when it comes to doing what users are actually wanting to do, rather than what they are asking to do.  One case in point — if a user has a set…

For those using this — I’ve figured out how to get the Access connection to behave better, so now if you will be able to extract as many records as you need to edit and expect all updates to occur.  Prior, the plug-in would occasionally error out and an handful of records wouldn’t get changed…

Sorry I haven’t gotten this up — I’ll post it tonight. –TR

I’ll be posting an update this weekend that includes an updated bootloader to deal with a problem identified when installing on Vista 64-bit, as well as including enhancements to the Z39.50 Extended Services support and the OAI Harvester (making it more fault tolerant). Also, I reharvested the UMich. Google Books records and will be posting…

So, I updated the connexion plugin to fix a few issues and make it a little easier to work with.  The primary issues corrected deal with spacing of downloaded data.  Normalization of some fields where spacing is important ($w’s), where being stripped causing validation errors.  This has been corrected.  So how do you update?  Well,…

I introduced an error into the batch Z39.50 search function.  This was corrected in this build.  The change affects the z39.50 client (as well as the redistributables).  Here are the download links: MarcEdit App: http://oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/software/development/MarcEdit51_Setup.exe Runtimes:  http://oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/software/development/MarcEdit51_Runtimes.exe   –TR
