  • MarcEdit 5.0 Update

    MarcEdit 5.0 beta Update Ok — I’ve posted a new version of MarcEdit.  This update includes the following major changes: Z39.50 changes — I’ve updated the interface in the single search mode.  When clicking edit settings, the program would continually call he click event (frustrating). Z39.50 changes — I’ve modified the master db a bit…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 & COM II

    So it looks like I’ve gotten this working.  I’m going to be sending a private build out to a few testers tomorrow to see if they can confirm that it’s working outside of my controlled environment.  The solution ended up being one that I wasn’t all that wild about, but there wasn’t much I could…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 and COM

    I’m looking to release an update to MarcEdit this weekend to include the following: COM automation objects to the new MARCEngine zipped version of files needed to run the command-line version of MarcEdit on other platforms So what’s been the hangup with the COM — well two things.  First, Microsoft has a C# specification on…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Update Feb. 13th

    Forgot to get this up because I’ve been playing at the code4lib conference, but I did update a new version that corrected some display issues in the Z39.50 client and updated the console program so that the full file paths could be omitted (i.e., current directory would be assumed). As always, MarcEdit50_Setup.exe –Terry

  • MarcEdit 5.0 refresh

    Fixed a couple of bugs.  The one that folks would most likely run across was a bug in the swap fields function.  If you used the find text option, a match and swap would never occur. Other fixes, I’ve added some code to make sharing the application across a network share easier. As always, the…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 minor update

    I posted a new update to MarcEdit 5.0 last night relating to how the application handles invalid MARC records. Generally, most MARC tools just spit the records out or stop processing at the offending record. Well, in MarcEdit 4.6 there was a MARC “healer” function that would essentially attempt to evaluate how the record was…

  • Gary Smith (of OCLC’s) response to MARBI Proposal 2006-04, Technique for conversion of Unicode to MARC-8

    I was glad to see Gary Smith from OCLC finally post OCLC’s official response regarding the current MARBI proposal regarding the techniques for conversion of Unicode to MARC-8.  For those that haven’t see the proposal, the general gist of the document is that the current recommendation is to have non-transformable characters dropped, replaced by a fill character.  Personally,…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 refresh

    I fixed two issues this morning: When using the Extracted Selected Records or Delete Selected records utility — if the display field criteria appears in the record multiple times (i.e., multiple 090 fields), then the field count is skewed and the export will grab the wrong records.  This has been corrected. When openning a large…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Refresh (Jan. 13, 2006)
