  • .NET 64-bit processor memory issues when using sendmessage to access a winform element

    I’m posting this in hopes that it will save someone else a lot of time or someone that knows .NET a bit better than I can provide a better solution.  Problem: Last week, I had someone ping me regarding MarcEdit and a problem that they were running into with the Editor running it on a 64-bit…

  • MarcEdit Update

    I’ll be updating MarcEdit to 5.1 shortly.  I need to make sure all the changes are working.  This will replace 5.0, and remove the beta moniker.  Ideally, this would have been done much sooner, but I got busy with a number of other projects that really left me with little time to work on MarcEdit. …

  • MarcEdit 5 + Linux (and Mac)

    It’s been a little while since I’d taken a look at the progress being made by the MONO group in regards to the GUI development and since someone had asked, I thought I’d see how it was working.  The current stable working version of MONO tested is 1.2.3.  Testing was done on CentOS.  And what did…

  • MarcEdit Z39.50 Changes

    I’ve been having some folks ping me recently regarding how data is displayed in the Z39.50 client.  To simply the data display process, I pull data into a byte array and simply render the content using the Windows 1252 codepage.  This means that any data returned via UTF8 (which I certainly don’t see often) gets…

  • MarcEdit 5 updated

    The biggest part of this update is the addition of a Z39.50 COM object call.  So for those that install as an admin, they will be able to access the Z39.50 object.  Here’s a code snippet. Function ZSearch(search, ltype) Dim lobj_Z3950 Dim lstring Set lobj_Z3950 =createObject(“MARCEngine5.Query”) With lobj_Z3950 .Database = “VOYAGER” .Host = “z3950.loc.gov” .Port…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 update

    Basically, a bug fix.  I made a few changes to the script maker, the Editor when it closes, and added a new sorting option in the Editor (sortby author). http://oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/software/development/MarcEdit50_Setup.exe –TR

  • MarcEdit 5 update

    I’ve posted an update to MarcEdit.  Couple of changes: MARC21XML output: Larry Dixon from LC let me know that the xmlschema location value was incorrectly set on occasion.  Didn’t notice for two reasons: 1) It doesn’t affect my xslt processors and 2) I don’t use namespaces. Export Selected/Delete Selected — ability to use a file…

  • MarcEdit update

    I’ve been doing some work on the Delimited Text importer this weekend.  Nothing big — just some simple changes to make the import process work better — particularly when dealing with csv files (which MarcEdit periodically splits up incorrectly when dealing with MS Excel data).  Anyway, I think I’ve got a much better process using…

  • Running MarcEdit 5 on macs, linux and other updates

    So with the coming preconference at Code4Lib (which I wish I was going to :(), I’ve had a few folks ask if MarcEdit can run on a mac or linux system.  Well, the console version of the application can.  The GUI portion of the program still relies on components that haven’t been fully migrated into…

  • MarcEdit 5 update

    Apparently in an update, I’d broken the MARCJoin function (the files to join wasn’t being set).  Sorry about that.  So, I’ve fixed this and in fixing this, corrected a problem with the same function in the console program.  To run in the console, you’d use the following: %cmarcedit.exe -s c:\myfile.mrc;c:\myfile2.mrc -d c:\newfile.mrc -join In the…
