  • MarcEdit 5.0 and MARC Proposal #2006-04

    At Midwinter this year, MARBI will be discussing MARC Proposal #2006-04. This proposal deals with the mapping of Unicode characters back to the MARC-8 characterset. The proposal lays out a number of options, settling on the recommendation that systems doing character remapping should utilize a placeholder character for Unicode characters not in the MARC8 characterset.…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Beta Refresh (Dec. 19, 2005)

    Alright — another new build. 🙂 This build includes a small tweak to the MarcEditor add/delete functions. Essentially, some new lines were being inserted into the results file. Its not a problem since the program will ignore the blank lines — but I wanted to clean this up. Also, this build includes a help reader…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Beta refresh2 (Dec. 18, 2005)

    Now that I’m getting closer to removing the beta “tag” from the program, there will likely be a few more frequent refreshes over the next few weeks. I’ll try to note what’s changed so folks can decide if they want to keep up to date. Shortly, I’m going to be updating the setup program itself…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 refresh (Dec. 18, 2005)

    Ok — I’ve finished adding the preview mode into MarcEdit 5.0. This is a very cool feature that I’ve already been enjoying to handle a pair of 300 MB files. Generally, I would write a script for this type of editing because of the slow file loading when dealing with such large files. However, with…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 beta Preview Mode

    I thought I’d post a little more information regarding MarcEdit’s new Preview Mode. Earlier, I’d mentioned that I will be implementing a preview mode into the MarcEditor. The reason for this is many, but here are a few of the highlights: 1) Will load just the first nnn number of bytes into the editor. This…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 — MarcEditor Preview mode

    This is just informational — a little bit of a heads up as I finish working this out. Essentially, what I’m doing it building a preview mode into the MarcEditor. The assumption here is that if you have a file over a certain size (by default, 1 MB) — the MarcEditor will default loading the…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Beta bug fix

    I found an interesting little bug in the MARCEngine that occurs only when using the MARC=>UTF8 component when converting data into XML in Arabic. Its been corrected and reuploaded. One other interesting note…while testing my recent updates to the MarcEditor (improving large file loading), I found that when openning files with a mix of Arabic…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Update (Dec. 7, 2005)

    Ha! Finally, I got the record exporting code to work again. When I’d first set it up, it worked great on our ILS, but didn’t on others. So, after a few sleepless nights (and banging my head against a wall and sobbing) I finally got this problem fixed. The program should now work as expected…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 refresh

    I posted a rebuild at: MarcEdit50_Setup.exe. The problem was in the last update, I overwrote the master xml function list (the list found in the MARC Tools Window) with the master list on my development machine, so you will likely find that xml functions are now broken if you’d updated. This will correct it. I’m…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 refresh (Dec. 6, 2005)

    I’ve uploaded a new version of MarcEdit 5.0. The new features: 1) Batch Processing — This tool allows you to select a directory, file types and then a function. From there, it will automatically enumerate through the directory processing each file. 2) In the MarcEditor — a Jump to function. This allows you to jump…
