Alrighty, I’ve posted the update that corrected the two earlier noted bugs.  The first correction had to do with translating UTF-8 encoded MARC records into MARCXML and then back into MARC-8 — this was an easy fix and should be completed.  I’ve verified it against the 102 test records that had been set for review. …

Just an fyi — I’d received some test files today for a small set of records where some diacritics were being mangled when translating data from MARCXML to MARC in MARC-8.  I investigated, and there is a very narrow bug in the application that I’ve corrected and will post as an update this evening.  The problem only…

New updates already…I was playing with MarcEdit this afternoon and run into a couple of small bugs that I squashed this afternoon.  I made the following changes: MarcEditor Printing:  Oops, I made a change last night and broke the MarcEditor printing.  To make is so that the program could print fonts correctly, I’d modified the…

Alright, I’ve been doing a little bit of interface work on the 5.0 MarcEditor to make editing 006/008 fields easier for users.  So, I’ve made the following changes: 006/008 Editing Windows.  These are found under the Edit menu in the MarcEditor.  It will edit an existing field or generate a new field.   A couple of…

Alright, I just uploaded a new version of MarcEdit 5.0 that includes a bug fix, an enhancement and some new functionality in the setup program (that I’ve tested, but will be interested in hearing if anyone has problems with the new functions). Here are the changes: Bug Fix:  Preview pane had a bug relating to…

Ok, so MarcEdit includes an RSS reader…great.  So what do folks want to see me do with it.  I’ve been starting to work on a feed reader that would allow users to place feeds from journals into a scheduler so one could generate MARC records for new article titles as they are posted.  I’ve also…

I’ve posted an update — its a small update (blame the holidays), but includes a couple of things that will help new installations. Changes: 1) I’ve added code to the Setup Program that will check for the .NET Framework 1.1 and the MDAC 2.7 components. Each of which are required for MarcEdit to run correctly.…

Alrighty, I’ve posted a new build tonight (or this morning, depending of your time-zone). So what’s new…the biggest new option is the inclusion of a lite-weight RSS reader that will read information from the MarcEdit blog. Getting information to new and existing users has been an ongoing problem — but I think that this might…

I’ll be posting an update message shortly, but I thought I’d mention a new feature that I just added to MarcEdit 5.0. One of the things that I’ve been trying to do is figure out how to get more information to the MarcEdit users — particularly information regarding updates, tutorials, etc. Well, since I’ve started…

One of the new features in MarcEdit 5.0 is the ability to verify URLs for data within specific fields, or every field within a group of MARC records. Its actually a pretty cool little feature. Essentially, one access the function by selecting Add-ins/Verify URLs from the Main Window. When selected, you will see the following…
