  • Merge Record Changes

    With the last update, I made a few significant modifications to the Merge Records tool, and I wanted to provide a bit more information around how these changes may or may not affect users.  The changes can be broken down into two groups: User Defined Merge Field Support Multiple Record merge support Prior to MarcEdit…

  • MarcEdit 6.1 Update

    This update will have four significant changes to three specific algorithms that are high use — so I wanted to give folks a heads up. 1) Merge Records — I’ve updated the process in two ways.      a) Users can now change the data in the dropdown box to a user-defined field/subfield combination.  At…

  • MarcEdit OSX Public Build #2

    Interesting thing about software development — everything can work so great within your own environments, but then be so uneven once they move outside of them.  The variable that changed — real data…and that’s why you make things available for folks to play with. First, thanks to those that downloaded the preview and gave it…

  • MarcEdit OSX Public Preview 1

    It’s with a little trepidation that I’m formally making the first Public Preview of the MarcEdit OSX version available for download and use.  In fact, as of today, this version is now *the* OSX download available on the downloads page.  I will no longer be building the old code-base for use on OSX. When I…

  • MarcEdit 6.1 Update

    This was something I’d hoped to get into the last update, but didn’t get the time to test it; so I got it done now.  While at the first MarcEdit User Group meeting at ALA, there was a question about supporting 880 fields when exporting data via tab delimited format.  When you use the tool…

  • Working with the Clipboard on OSX

    Coming from the Windows and Linux world — the object where data is copy and pasted from is called the Clipboard.  Not so in OSX.  In OSX, this is referred to as the NSPasteBoard.  Should you need to get string data on and off of it – use the following:   private static string[] pboardTypes…
