  • 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 7’s new Help System: A first look

    Over the next few months, as I work on MarcEdit 7, I’ll be periodically slipping some of this functionality in the MarcEdit 6 series to give folks an opportunity to provide feedback.  The new Help system is the first of these kinds of improvements.  I’ll be using the last remaining updates in the version 6…

  • MarcEdit Linked Data Rules Files Enhancements

    I’m working on a couple enhancements to the MarcEdit Linked Data rules file to accommodate proposals being generated by the PCC regarding the usage of the $0 and the $1 in MARC21 records.  Currently, MarcEdit has the ability to generate $0s for any controlled data within a MARC record, so long as a webservice for…

  • MarcEdit, Windows XP, and what the way too early log analysis says

    Related post: MarcEdit and the Windows XP Sunsetting conversation So, this has been kind of interesting.  Since Sunday, I’ve been running a script against my access logs to get a better idea of what the MarcEdit XP user community may look like.  I timed this with the update, because I’ve found that in general, a large…

  • Can my ILS be added to MarcEdit’s ILS Integration?

    This question has shown up in my email box a number of times over the past couple of days.  My guess, it’s related to the youtube videos recently posted demonstrating how to setup and use MarcEdit directly with Alma. Windows Version: https://youtu.be/8aSUnNC48Hw Mac Version: https://youtu.be/6SNYjR_WHKU   Folks have been curious how this work was done, and if…
