The original code base is dead. I did find a qt4 port that might get you 
close enough:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbarcode/

It will mean compiling from source and probably installing some qt4 
libraries.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. My client is using it to create bar codes for 
a number of herbal products. Kbarcode has worked well over the years, 
but as you stated, qt3 isn't available with Ubuntu 14.04, so I'm no 
longer able to connect kbarcode to the postgresql database. What a 
shame. Perhaps kbarcode should put a message on their website stating 
that kbarcode doesn't work with anything above qt3. Or is there still a 
small chance that they'll port it. I'd appreciate it if you could 
recommend an alternative.

Regards,

Mark

Looks like Ubuntu 14.04 only has packages back to qt4. Searching did not 
find any alternate repos that would provide qt3 libraries. Kbarcode 
seems to be defunct, so it is stuck at qt3. Seems you are between a rock 
and a hard place:(

What are you doing with Kbarcode?

There may be an alternative available.

[Kbarcode] Kbarcode Ubuntu 14.04 libqt5sql5-psql

[MT <mt...@op...>]

Hello,

I have been using Kbarcode with postgresql on Ubuntu 10.04. I recently 
installed Kbarcode on Ubuntu 14.04, but I am unable to connect it to the 
Postgresql database.

If I try to install libqt3-mt-psql, it fails because the package is not 
found.

Instead I have successfully installed libqt5sql5-psql; however, Kbarcode 
does not see the driver.

Please advise in this matter.

Mark

[Kbarcode] Using < and > in a custom variable

[Angus B. <Bai...@sy...>]

Hello kbarcode,

I am importing data from a csv file.
On my label definition I have included a custom variable.
The data for this variable from the csv input file contains a < or a >.
It always gets output on the label as &lt; or &gt;

How can I get it to print as < or > ?

Thanks
Angus

[Kbarcode] compiling kbarcode for kubuntu 13.10

[<mar...@ya...>]

Hello to the list,
I tried to compile kbarcode from cvs, but it keeps asking for kde-config, which has been replaced by kde4-config.

I'd really like to see this program in the official repos! Right now I use glabels, but would prefer to switch to kde.

Thanks for any help with compiling!


Cheers,
Martin

[Kbarcode] New spec file for Fedora

[Mario B. <mar...@gm...>]

Hi, 

please see the attachment for the spec file for Fedora to include it in the 
Gitorious repo.

I will provide official KBarcode packages soon -- once the final version 3.0.0 
has been released. For the time being, you might use my packages built on the 
Koji build server [2][3] for Fedora 19 and 20.

Note:
Due to the recent name change, it is possible to have both kbarcode and 
kbarcode-kde4 on your system, but this could cause some undesired behavior in 
certain circumstances. I've refrained to add an "Obsoletes:" tag because we 
haven't had a kbarcode or kbarcode-kde4 package in Fedora previously. Please 
remove the latter prior to the kbarcode installation if you don't want to keep 
both.

[Kbarcode] release 3.0.0b3

[<kba...@ce...>]

Hi,

KBarcode 3.0.0b3 has been released.
Source and a deb package for amd64 architecture are available 
on http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbarcode/files/Development/3.0.0b3/
Installation instructions for Debian/Ubuntu are also on the page.

3.0.0b3 is still beta and it is released for the purpose of testing by users.
Please, report all bugs that you willl see. 
To do it visit either http://sourceforge.net/p/kbarcode/bugs/ 
or send an email to mailing lists on 
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=kbarcode-users .


Summary of changes since 3.0.0b2:

KBarcode-kde4 has been renamed back to KBarcode. 
Sorry for the mess, it is my fault.

Fixed and upgraded implementation of Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript.
Version 3.0.0b3 uses the version 2013-01-17-1 
of Barcode Writer In Pure Postscript (BWIPP).
So you are able to create QR code, Aztec Code 
and many other codes with KBarcode.
Do you want to use a more up-to-date version 
of Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript with KBarcode?
You can specify which version of BWIPP placed on your system 
to use via KBarcode's configuration dialog.

Fixed TBarcode support.

Fixed moving multiple items.

Added Ukrainian localization.
Updated German localization.

Small gui enhancements.


Known bugs:

The size of generated pdf files is huge.
The application Glabels seems to have the correct and the most efficient way 
of generating pdf files. We'll have a look at it and see what we can do.

In chroot jail environment I noted that when a label editor is started
and a label is chosen then a default label is displayed instead of the chosen one.
The chosen label is displayed only after inserting an item or moving the scroll bar.
The bug doesn't emerge on my normal system but it can emerge on some systems. 
If it does, please, report it. I want to know how common this bug is.

Also in chroot jail environment initially I wasn't able to switch application language 
via "Switch Application Language" in Help menu. 
http://serverfault.com/a/344423 solved the issue for me.

Fanda
 

Re: [Kbarcode] German translation and (upcoming) Fedora package

[<kba...@ce...>]

Hi Mario,

thanks.

You're right with the pcre library. It has been fixed recently by Gian 
and the most up-to-date version on gitorious links against pcre properly. 

Yes, the german translation was outdated.

Regarding desktop files:
A decision has not been made yet whether to install all the desktop files 
as in KBarcode for KDE3 or to install just one and delete the others. 
I will ask Dominik.

3.0.0b3 release is coming soon, there are several fixes, 
most importantly the fix and upgrade of Barcode Writer In Pure Postscript support. 
In 3.0.0b2 Barcode Writer In Pure Postscript was not working at all which was a major bug.
I also hoped I would experiment with code to reduce generated pdf file size, 
but it could take a while, so I won't do it before the 3.0.0b3 release. 
 
I will merge your changes into the repository on gitorious tomorrow. 
So 3.0.0b3 will be ready to be packaged in a while and I will make a deb package soon. 
I'll send a mail into the mailing list when it's done.

Regards,

Fanda
 

[Kbarcode] German translation and (upcoming) Fedora package

[Mario B. <mar...@gm...>]

Hi all, 

the German translation of Kbarcode-kde4 was outdated and incomplete. It is 
based on the current content from Gitorious, updated by using extract-
messages.sh.

Moreover, I'm building a RPM package for Fedora. The spec file shipped with the 
latest tarball is unusable. But doesn't matter, I've created my own one.
Note the following problems while building and checking the package (for 
v3.0.0b2):

The pcre library has not been linked properly. I have to call "export 
LDFLAGS=-lpcre" before running cmake.

The *.desktop file is not correct. A ";" at the end of the MIME tag is missing. 
BTW, what about the other *.desktop files? They are not installed by 
default, so that I mean we don't need them at all.

My files are available from here:
http://mariobl.fedorapeople.org/kbarcode-kde4/de.po
http://mariobl.fedorapeople.org/kbarcode-kde4/kbarcode-kde4.desktop.patch
http://mariobl.fedorapeople.org/kbarcode-kde4/kbarcode-kde4.spec

Mario

Re: [Kbarcode] Batch printing of label using [serial] not working correctly

[<kba...@ce...>]

Hi Sameer,

I found a temporary workaround to the "huge PDF files" problem.
I will take a look at the KBarcode's code and change something. 
For now if you want to decrease size of an output PDF file, 
run the following command on the PDF file created by KBarcode-kde4 and wait a while:

gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/ebook -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=outputfile.pdf inputfile.pdf
 
Of course replace "inputfile.pdf" with the name of the PDF file created by KBarcode-kde4
and replace "outputfile.pdf" with a desired filename.
 
and depending on the quality demanded by you, replace -dPDFSETTINGS=/ebook with one of the following:

-dPDFSETTINGS=/screen .. produces 72 dpi images (low screen-view-only quality)
-dPDFSETTINGS=/ebook .. produces 150 dpi images (low quality)
-dPDFSETTINGS=/printer .. produces 300 dpi images (high quality)
-dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress .. produces 300 dpi images (high quality)
-dPDFSETTINGS=/default .. ?

E.g. when run on a 107 MB file the results are:

-dPDFSETTINGS=/screen .. file size reduced to: 7 MB
-dPDFSETTINGS=/ebook .. file size reduced to: 13 MB
-dPDFSETTINGS=/printer .. file size reduced to: 40 MB
-dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress .. ?
-dPDFSETTINGS=/default .. file size reduced to: 40 MB

For more info see:
http://blog.rot13.org/2011/05/optimize-pdf-file-size-using-ghostscript.html
http://milan.kupcevic.net/ghostscript-ps-pdf/
 
So it's not really a solution, but a temporary workaround.
I will experiment with the code tomorrow and hopefully find a solution.

Re: [Kbarcode] Batch printing of label using [serial] not working correctly

[VK S. <vks...@gm...>]

Hi Fanda,

Thanks for the reply.

I'm very puzzled now - I tried reproducing the bug and at least in the
first 10 pages or so, don't see those errors! Maybe some library got
updated during an apt-get dist-upgrade which fixed the problem? I'll
try some different numbers/starting digits and see if the bug
reappears. If not, please feel free to drop this issue :)

Would it be possible, though, to find out why the PDF/PS files are so
huge? For 7000 barcodes, the file size is 107MB.

Sameer

Re: [Kbarcode] Batch printing of label using [serial] not working correctly

[<kba...@ce...>]

Hi Sameer,

sorry for the late reply.

Can you reproduce the bug?
It is an odd major bug, but I still can not reproduce it.
It may be caused by an incorrect number in a loop or a barcode item misplacement.

According to the png picture you sent the value of start serial 
was not 184001 but more likely some round number like 184000.
I used the values 184001 and 184000 for start serial
and for the number of barcodes the value 7000 
and I still cannot see any bug among barcode numbers 
that would be near the barcode number 186700 or anywhere else.
Please, reproduce the bug and let me know.

Re: [Kbarcode] Batch printing of label using [serial] not working correctly

[VK S. <vks...@gm...>]

Hi Fanda,

Thanks for the response and looking into the issue.

Starting serial no. was 184001 and no. of labels was 7000 - we
generate PDFs and print as needed. I _think_ I also tried with a
smaller no. of labels with the same result, but am not sure. I'll be
back at that computer tomorrow and can investigate/give more details
as needed.

Regarding the output file size, could there also be a Postscript
version bump between kbarcode-kde3 and kbarcode-kde4? I noticed the PS
file header had changed from Trolltech to Nokia, but hopefully that's
not the reason :)

Sameer

Re: [Kbarcode] Batch printing of label using [serial] not working correctly

[<kba...@ce...>]

Hi Sameer,

thanks for reporting the bugs. 

I can't reproduce the bug "sequence jumping around". 
The bug does not show up when printing smaller number of labels.
E.g. when using 186600 as "Serial start" and 200 as "Number of labels to print" 
I haven't noticed any bug. 
I tried to modify Avery/Asia/J8756 
to have your values but the bug still didn't show up.
(I didn't look at each of the 200 items so may be I just haven't noticed.)
What was your value in the field "Serial start"?
What was your value in the field "Number of labels to print"?

Regarding large sizes of pdfs:
I will have a look at it. 
Currently I have no idea why it is like that.
It may be related to KBarcode-kde4 using ghostscript 
instead of imagemagick used by KBarcode for KDE3.

Re: [Kbarcode] Using kbarcode from command line without needing adisplay.

[<kba...@ce...>]

Hi Angus,

I tried using KBarcode's command line interface for the first time 
after reading your mail. 
It surprised me that KBarcode can't print without starting its GUI 
even in the batchprinting mode. (Correct me, if I'm wrong.)
But it is understandable since KBarcode uses Qt's printing classes.

I may create a pure command line interface for printing if you give me some time.
Now I don't have an idea how long it will take.
First I must take a look at the code and Qt's documentation 
and see if it's even possible (it is likely).

What exactly do you need to do with KBarcode using just the command line interface?
Any ideas and suggestions for command line arguments and CLI functionality 
that KBarcode-kde4 should provide are welcome.
The manual shipped with the version KBarcode-kde4 3.0.0b2 is outdated, 
so the output of "kbarcode-kde4 --help" is more helpful on 
understanding KBarcode's current command line interface.

Here is what I get when running "kbarcode-kde4 --help":

$ kbarcode-kde4 --help

[Kbarcode] A few questions

[<kba...@ce...>]

A few questions:

I would like to rename the version of KBarcode for KDE4 
to "KBarcode-kde4" or "KBarcode-KDE4" or "KBarcode4".
This way a user can have both the version for KDE3 and the version for KDE4 
installed on one system at the same time. 
This is convenient becouse KBarcode for KDE4 is still beta so it can misbehave.
And also if renamed both the versions of KBarcode can exist in Ubuntu's package archives.
If you agree that KBarcode should be renamed:
What should the new name be?
To use the "-kde4" / "-KDE4" suffix is recommended in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete .
I would like to rename the package as well as the executable.

What version number should the new 
(and possibly renamed) KBarcode for KDE4 be? 
1.0.0 / 2.1.0 / 3.0.0 / 4.0.0
As far as I know the last version of KBarcode for KDE3 is 2.0.7 .
Either way I will append the suffix "rc1" 
that will stand for "the first release candidate".

Why was DSTextEdit::fixParagraphs() called? 
I know it removes the tags  and 
 
so that there is just one tag  at the beginning of text 
and just one 
 tag at the end of text. 
So that all the text is one paragraph. But why do we need this?
May be it fixed a bug in KDE3/Qt3.
But with KDE4 it caused a bug: Undo and redo features didn't work. 
I disabled DSTextEdit::fixParagraphs() so that it is never called
and I don't see any problems.

Please, post your suggestions. 
I think Dominik has the final word on these matters.

[Kbarcode] An update on the port status

[<kba...@ce...>]

The version tagged as "port-1.0" on gitorious.org/kbarcode-kde4 worksand has the most of the Kbarcode's functionality except a database support.
It compiles succesfully with few compile warnings
and uses all of the Kbarcode's source files
except gnubarkodeengine.cpp and gnubarkodeengine.h .
But it still uses QT3 support classes like Q3Canvas,
Q3SqlCursor, Q3DataTable, Q3SimpleRichText, etc.
I am currently working on porting the QT3 support classes to pure QT4.
I have already ported Q3Canvas and related stuff to QGraphicsScene
(which proved to be the most difficult porting)
but I haven't pushed it to the online repository on gitorious.org/kbarcode-kde4 yet.

You can find more info in the tag message.
