Few updates worth noting from last night/this morning. 1) Added a new option in the Add/Delete Field Utility to allow users to insert a field into the last position in a record 2) Corrected a problem that allows new fields to be added/deleted after a non-numeric field has been added to a record 3) Corrected…

I made a few updates over the weekend — though the are mostly fixing a few things: Delimited Text Translator:  The generated 008 field was too long.  The date information wasn’t being truncated correctly. UTF-8 => Marc8 translation:  I finally setup the translation to support the Greek and Greek Symbols as noted by the LC…

Couple of Update notes.  I fixed a small issue with the 008/006 editing and have been spending a bit of time going through the XSLT processing code to do as much optimization as possible — and I’m happy to report that it looks like some good has come out of these optimizations.  Here’s how it…

I posted an update to MarcEdit tonight.  Changes: Bug fix: When moving data from UTF-8 to MARC8, specific subscript characters would be placed into the superscript area. Bug fix: When working with the Console — if you used the commandline parameters — the destination path was being read incorrectly. Added Help files Updated Langauge files…

While at UVA, I was asked if the MarcEdit stylesheet could be modified to allow for the creation of both Collection, series and analytic records for items in the EAD records. This is just a template and would need to be modified for actual use — but I put this together while on the plane…

Couple of updates — two bug fixes and 5 cosmetic/behavioral changes that after trying them out, I think will be useful for folks. Bug fixes: Making the same file 2x in a row thows error: This is a timing error within the program. While I cannot recreate the error myself, looking at the error report…

A small update.  This cleans the installation, optimizes some of the MARC Editing tools in the MarcEditor (particularly the subfield edit utility) and updates the Extract and Delete selected records utility so users can do multiple queries while retaining their last set of checked items. Also, I’ve updated some help information.  As always, the program…

Alrighty — I’ve posted a new update to MarcEdit 5.0.  And for those wondering — I’m going to be moving the version number to 5.1 by ALA and out of beta the program will come.  At this point, we are no longer finding problems in the application — the only holdup has been documentation creation…

I’m starting to work on a new webservice to run on one of our Unix boxes (thank you MONO).  Essentially, I’m looking to create a webservice that will be accessible via a WSDL file.  Basically, this will let any pipe files to this webservice and allow them to translate metadata into or out of any…
