Re: mbarcode
 

Not sure whether it is me being in the UK, but out of all the things Ive tried to scan, the only things ive had recognised is a couple of books

My brother has an iphone and his app recognises pretty much everything he scans in

I havent used the buddy option, only the external links

Re: mbarcode
 

When you say recognised do you mean by e.g. the weblookup, or do you mean that no barcode (EAN number for example) is produced from the image?

If it's the latter then please send me some images, if it's the former, the yeah that may well be - we need more backend plugins to do lookups of decoded EANs :)

Re: mbarcode
 

Sorry I should have been clearer, the images captured produce the results required, ie the barcodes scanned decode successfully its the weblookups that dont produce the results

Im not sure what the iphone uses, other than it goes on the internet to search the results

Re: mbarcode
 

I also don't know. Amazon should perform reasonably, but over here one can't easily perform EAN lookups afair.

There are certainly a number of online sources we could use for lookups, take a look at the web.c code in the gtk+ version of mbarcode (they are only partial, but give the base url). When I get some time I'll try writing some more lookup-plugins (unless some of you lot beat me there ;))

Re: mbarcode
 

lardman, where would you like for me to post my ISBN plugin? As a patch in the garage tracker?

Re: mbarcode
 

Sonic, are you scanning books specifically? If so, my ISBN plugin may be helpful; it looks up ISBN/EAN numbers on Amazon. It's successfully looked up every book I've tested so far.

Re: mbarcode
 

See my PM, but basically I can add you to the project so you can add it directly to SVN yourself, otherwise add it as a bug/enhancement in the bugs.maemo.org tracker.

Thanks :)

Re: mbarcode
 

There is a bug in the packaging. The plugins don't depend on the mbarcode application, so you can install the plugins without the application. Normally if you install a plugin the application get's installed, too.

Re: mbarcode
 

Yes that is indeed a bug, I'll fix it this evening.

Thanks! :)

Re: mbarcode
 

I have the vcard plugin installed(i think part of the qrcode plugin), but doesn't seem to work. I searched this thread, but didn't see anything about it.

Is it supposed to work(i.e. add contact to address book)?

vcard text is recognized and I have a button to open vcard
