Terry’s Worklog

  • MarcEdit Mac Update

    It seems like I’ve been making a lot of progress wrapping up some of the last major features missing from the Mac version of MarcEdit.  The previous update introduced support for custom/user defined fonts and font sizes which I hope went a long way towards solving accessibility issues.  Today’s update brings plugin support to MarcEdit…

  • Fonts, Font-sizes and the MacOS

    So, one of the questions I’ve occasionally been getting from Mac users is that they would really like the ability to shift the font and font sizes of the programs’ interface.  If you’ve used the Windows version of MarcEdit, this has been available for some time, but I’ve not put it into the Mac version…

  • MarcEdit KBart Plugin

    Last year, I had the opportunity to present at NASIG, and one of the questions that came up was related to the KBart format and if MarcEdit could generate it.  I’ll be honest, I’d never heard of KBart and this was the first time it had come up.  Well, fast forward a few months and…

  • MarcEdit Workstreams: MacOS and Windows/Linux

    Over the past couple of months, I’ve had some interesting questions that have been leading me to going back and relooking at how a handful of things work within MarcEdit.  To that end, I’m hoping to complete the following two workstreams this weekend. MacOS Two of the features most often asked for at this point…

  • MarcEdit MacOS Updates

    This past weekend, I spent a good deal of time getting the MacOS version of MarcEdit synchronized with the Windows and Linux builds.  In addition to the updates, there is a significant change to the program that needs to be noted as well.  First, let’s start with the changelog.  The following changes were made in…

  • MarcEdit Windows/Linux Updates

    This weekend, I worked on a couple of updates related to MarcEdit.  The updates applicable to the Windows and Linux builds are the following: 6.2.455* Enhancement: Export Tab Delimited Records: Added Configurable third delimiter.* Enhancement: MarcEditor: Improvements in the Page Counting to better support invalid formatted data.* Enhancement: Extract/Delete MARC Records: Added file open button…

  • MarcEdit: Networked Task Folders and network latency

    I had a really interesting question make it into my email the other day.  A user had configured MarcEdit to use a networked task folder, and in general, it was working.  But then, it wouldn’t.  The folder was there, the tasks were there, but the program simply wouldn’t see the network.  Maybe that has happened…

    Couple updates, couple bug fixes.  Change log below. 6.2.452* Bug fix/Behavior Change: Export Tab Delimited Records: Second delimiter insertion should be standardized with all regressions removed.* New Feature: Linked Data Tools: Service Status options have been included so users can check the status of the currently profiled linked data services.* New Feature: Preferences/Networked Tasks: MarcEdit…

  • MarcEdit’s new Logging Features

    Over the years, I’ve periodically gotten requests for a much more robust logger in MarcEdit.  Currently, when the tool performs a global change, it reports the number of changes made to the user.  However, a handful of folks have been wanting much more.  Ideally, they’d like to have a log of every change the application…
