Terry,
I recently had a file of records in which all the control numbers had been changed from those on the corresponding records of an earlier file from the same record vendor. (I think this was because the record vendor acquiring the records from a different cataloging agency.) It might be enough in such an instance to match on title alone, since one could always double check the list of duplicates that were extracted. For safety's sake, however, it would be better to have more matching points.
Just my 2 cents worth, based on the above incident.

Before I push this out -- I wanted to ask a question about the dedup process. As I was testing this out, I was thinking that the old dedup function really seems pretty weak when you consider that the Merge Tool includes a fairly robust matching algorthem allowing it to use multiple match points to determine merges. So, I'm going to ask -- I can push out the dedup tool that dedups just on the control number/title (per the current tool) -- or I can coop the merge functionality and give a bit more robust dudup. function if that would be more useful.
Let me know,
--TR

Amen! I have a particularly complex set of files pending right now.
When you put out the more detailed message, can you tell us how we can control which of the duplicate records is retained, especially if there is more than one way to do that?
Thanks for your continuing work on this tool!

Terry, the ability to dedupe between multiple files will be a highly useful addition!

This isn't a big update, more of an update to fix a few annoyances that I've been running across while doing a few MarcEdit talks locally. They tend to be UI issues (places where I think the UI falls down) - but I will be adding a few enhancements (like deduplication between multiple file, not simply within a single file), etc. I'll send out a more detailed message around Thursday or Friday to give the full list of updates.
