  • MarcEdit 5.1, first updates 🙂

    Posted 5.1 yesterday and already enhancement requests.  So, I quickly whipped up the following changes: MarcValidator changes — I’ve updated the validator so that the 1xx fields are no longer required.  In general, the validator definitions are defined through the validator dictionary files — this includes the definition of a primary title field and the…

  • LibraryFind 0.8.2

    I still have to create the tar-ball, but I’ve officially tagged 0.8.2.  This includes a number of fixes, as well as the inclusion of the smart_session_store plugin.  This plugin was necessary to solve some sessioning issues caused by timing, and our Ajax implementation.  –TR

    So, I’ve been doing a bit of house cleaning over the past week going through the code and making sure that no windowism remain in the codebase (i.e., stupid things, like directory slashes, assumptions as to how programs execute (obviously, with mono I need to get path information, creating an “installer” to set application/folder paths…

  • .NET 64-bit processor memory issues when using sendmessage to access a winform element

    I’m posting this in hopes that it will save someone else a lot of time or someone that knows .NET a bit better than I can provide a better solution.  Problem: Last week, I had someone ping me regarding MarcEdit and a problem that they were running into with the Editor running it on a 64-bit…
