  • MarcEdit 7: Preferences Wireframes and Ease of Use Features

    This post relates to the previous posts: MarcEdit 7 visual styles: High Contrast: https://blog.reeset.net/archives/2288 MarcEdit 7: Accessibility Options Part 2: https://blog.reeset.net/archives/2300 I’m continuing to flesh out new wireframes, and one of the areas where I’ll be consolidating some options is in the preferences window.  I’ve decided to reorganize the menu and some of the settings. …

  • MarcEdit 7: Accessibility Options Part 2

    I’ve been working a bit more around this notion of creating “themes” to improve visible accessibility options.  This started with an initial implementation that included the default interface and then a High Contrast interface.  Over the past few days, I’ve been getting a wide range of feedback, and one of the things that is becoming…

  • MarcEdit 7 visual styles: High Contrast

    An interesting request made while reviewing the Wireframes was if MarcEdit 7 could support a kind of high contrast, or “Dark” theme mode.  An Example of this would be Office: Some people find this interface easier on the eyes, especially if you are working on a screen all day.  Since MarcEdit utilizes its own GUI…

  • MarcEdit 7: MARC Tools Wireframe

    The changes aren’t big — they are really designed to make the form a little more compact and add common topics to the screen.  The big changes are related to integrations.  In MarcEdit 6.x, when you run across an error, you have to open the validator, pick the correct validation option, etc.  This won’t be…

  • MarcEdit 7 progress notes and changes

    ** Originally posted to the MarcEdit Listserv ** While I’ve got a couple of clean up things to do with MarcEdit 6.x, I’ve been starting the process of revising MarcEdit 7.0.0.alpha.  At this point, there is a version running new code.  I’ve spent the past few evenings reorganizing the main window, pulling some things apart,…

  • MarcEdit 7 Main Window Wireframes and other notes

    I’ve been thinking about the new UI for MarcEdit 7.  I haven’t decided yet if the main window should have the ribbon or keep the menus (menus seem most appropriate for the MARC Tools and Main Window) — but the main thing I wanted to do with the new UI in MarcEdit 7, is to…

  • MarcEdit 7 Update Notes

    I’ll be officially cutting the new branch of MarcEdit 7 for all the code in the project following the next release of MarcEdit 6.3.x.  The first thing I’ll be doing is updating all the dependencies to the new version of .NET 4.6.x essentially ending Windows XP support for MarcEdit 7.  I’ll be updating namespaces, and…

  • 2017 Philmont Experience

      Since Summer 2016, troop 73 has known that we would have an opportunity to go to the Philmont Ranch in New Mexico.  We had won the lottery, and had 24 spots available to our troop.  This means that we had the potential to take 20 kids and 4 adults in two crews out to…

  • MarcEdit update

    I’ve posted updates to MarcEdit Windows and Linux.  The change log is as follows: Bug Fix: SRU Processing — when setting custom profiles, the custom information wasn’t being saved in the integration query tool Enhancement: Export Delimited Text Translator: If you set a position that isn’t available, the program will print the text [null] New…

Got any book recommendations?
