  • Updating resources on the main UI thread: OSX & C#

    One of the things that has been a learning experience for me has been understanding how OSX handles threading, understanding what objects are thread-safe, and how to capture user feedback from within an thread running outside of the main UI thread. Conceptually, Windows, OSX, Linux — UIs tend to be run through a single, primary…

    A new update has been posted.  The changes are noted below: Enhancement: Installation changes — for administrators, the program will now allow for quite installations and an option to prevent users from enabling automated updates.  Some IT admins have been asking for this for a while.  The installation program will take an command-line option: autoupdate=no,…

  • MarcEdit 6 Update

    Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating.  Rather than over indulging in food, my family and I spent our day relaxing and enjoying some down time together.  After everyone went to bed, I had a little free time and decided to wrap up the update I’ve been working on.  This update includes the following changes: Language File…

  • MarcEdit 6 Update

    So I missed one — I made some changes to how MarcEdit loads data into the MarcEditor to improve performance, especially on newer equipment, and introduced a bug.  When making multiple global updates, the program may (probably) will lose track of the last page of records.  This slipped through my unit tests because the program…

  • 2014 Halloween Pumpkins

    Ever since having kids, one of my favorite parts of Halloween has been the carving of the Jack-o-lanterns.  Each year, the family picks out different characters, and I try to see what I can do with each. This is our 2014 crop of jack-o-lanterns. Calvin and Hobbes Sherlock Snow Leopard (created from a picture) –tr

  • Reminder to update your links for MarcEdit

    I got a reminder from Oregon State University that my old web space will be disabled this weekend.  I’ve since moved all the content to a new location, but be aware that it will likely take the search engines some time to update these redirects since so many people linked to the older URLs.  Old…

  • MarcEdit platform testing

    Just a couple of notes.  I’ve been spending quite a bit of time as of late testing the current MONO builds against the current MarcEdit codebase.  It looks like the latest stable version works just fine with the program, while the 3.0.x branch has a few rendering issues (not sure if they are mine or…
