  • MarcEdit Update

    Last night, I posted an update squashing a couple bugs and adding some new features.  Here’s the change log: * Bug Fix: Merge Records Tool: If the user defined field is a title, the merge doesn’t process correctly.* Bug Fix: Z39.50 Batch Processing: If the source server provides data in UTF8, characters from multi-byte languages…

  • MarcEdit Updates

    This update has been a little while coming and represents a significant number of updates, bug fixes and enhancements.  On the Mac side, the two largest updates where the implementation of the Delimited Text Translator and the OAI Harvester, on all platforms — Alma Integration.  You can find notes about the Alma integration here: https://blog.reeset.net/archives/1950…

  • MarcEdit Alma Integration

    Over the past month, I’ve been working with ExLibris (thank you to Ori Miller at ExLibris) and Boston College (thanks to Margaret Wolfe) to provide direct integration between MarcEdit and Alma via the Alma Apis.  Presently, the integration allows users to search, create, and update records.  Setup is pretty easy (I think) and once you…

  • MarcEdit Update

    Yesterday, I posted a significant update to the Windows/Linux builds and a maintenance update to the Mac build that includes a lot of prep work to get it ready to roll in a number of changes that I’ll hopefully complete this week.  Unfortunately, I’ve been doing a lot of travelling, which means that my access…

  • MarcEdit and Windows XP

    I’ve been supporting XP now for close to 15 years in MarcEdit, and I’m finding the number of areas in the code where I have to work around XP limitations is continually growing. The tipping point for me occurred about a month ago, when I had to write a new URI parser because the version…

  • MarcEdit Updates

    This weekend, I posted a new MarcEdit update.  This is one of the biggest changes that I’ve made in a while.  While the actual changelog is brief — these changes represented ~17k lines of code Windows (~10K not related to UI work) and ~15.5k lines of code on the OSX side (~9K not related to…

  • MarcEdit Mac: Export Tab Delimited Records

    As part of the last update, I added a new feature that is only available in the Mac Version of MarcEdit at this point.  One of the things that had been missing in the Export Tab Delimited Tool was the ability to save and load one’s export settings.  I added that as part of the…

  • MarcEdit Bug Fix Update

    I’ve posted a new update for all versions of MarcEdit this afternoon.  Last night, when I posted the new update, I introduced a bug into the RDA Helper that rendered it basically unusable.  When adding functionality to the tool to enable support for abbreviations at a subfield level, I introduced a problem that removed the…

  • MarcEdit Updates

    I spent some time this week working through a few updates based on some feedback I’ve gotten over the past couple of weeks.  Most of the updates at this point are focused on the Windows/Linux builds, but the Mac build has been updated as well as all new functionality found in the linking libraries and…

  • MarcEdit Update

    I posted a small MarcEdit Update for Linux/Windows users that corrects some file path issues on linux and corrects a problem introduced in doing unicode character replacement in the 260/264 process of the RDA Helper.  You can get the update from the downloads page or via the automated updates. I also wanted to take this…
