I’ve been continuing to think about new workflows that could be added to the Watcher service.  One of the most requested is the ability for MarcEdit’s tool to not only watch local files, but to be able to monitor remote files hosted on FTP/SFTP servers as well.  So, over the past couple of weeks, I’ve…

I wanted to give folks a heads up that I’ll be making significant changes to the delimited text translator.  Over the past year, the ability to read Excel data in Windows has been a source of significant troubleshooting.  MarcEdit utilizes a Windows Component added when Excel is installed, and over the past year, updates and…

With MarcEdit 7 out, I’ve turned my focus to completing the MarcEdit MacOS update. Right now, I’m hoping to have this version available by the first of the year. I won’t be doing a long, extended beta, in part, because this version utilizes all the business code written for MarcEdit 7. And like MarcEdit 7,…

I had the opportunity to speak on a panel with a group of fantastic library people.  Here’s the panel description: https://www.asist.org/evolving-landscapes-in-academic-and-public-libraries/ I believe that all the presentation slides will be available soon from the site, but I’ve posted mine to slideshare at: https://www.slideshare.net/reese_terry/rejoining-the-information-access-landscape –tr

I’ve posted update for all versions.  Windows and linux updates for 6.3.x Sunday evening and updates to MacOS for 2.5.x on Wed. morning.  Change log below: Windows/Linux: * Bug Fix: MarcEditor: Convert clipboard content to….: The change in control caused this to stop working — mostly because the data container that renders the content is…

Something that comes up a lot is the lack of key combinations or pathways to using functions in MarcEdit.  I’ll admit, the program is very mouse heavy.  So, as part of the accessibility work in MarcEdit 7, I’m taking a long look at how access to all functions can be accommodated via the keyboard.  This…
