[Kbarcode] I started to port Kbarcode to KDE4/QT4

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

Hello,

I started to port Kbarcode to KDE4/QT4 .

My branch of Kbarcode compiles succesfully but it does so
because only half of the source files are compiled.
The other filenames are commented out in src/CMakeLists.txt .
So half of the source files have been already ported to KDE4/QT4.
You can compile it and run the executable.

Barcode generator works and the most of it has been already ported to KDE4/QT4.
Label editor does not work.
Batch printing does not work.
The dialog for importing a csv file works and has been already ported.
Configuration dialog works and has been ported.
Configuration assistant/wizard works and has been ported.
Database support doesn't work correctly in the current state of the port
as it is in a "debug/port mode".
Meaning that Kbarcode looks like it is connected to a database but it is not.

You can download the latest snapshot of Kbarcode on web address
gitorious.org/kbarcode-kde4/kbarcode-kde4/commits/master .
Click on the button "Download master as tar.gz" and then "Download".
(Git adress is git://gitorious.org/kbarcode-kde4/kbarcode-kde4.git .)
To compile the snapshot unpack the downloaded tar archive, 
cd to the unpacked directory and run in terminal on Linux:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/yourusername/some/path
make install
The executable that make will create will be in /home/yourusername/some/path/bin/ .

Re: [Kbarcode] COMMAND interface to KBARCODE

[Hal M. <ha...@pa...>]

In the following label file (which I've also attached), I modified 
gap_left from 7.14 as shown to 10.14, and modief gap_top from 12.7 to 
14.7.

According to my understanding, this should have shifted the image 3mm 
right and 2mm down, but it appears to have had NO effect.

Please respond if anyone knows how to get the effect I'm after.  It seems 
odd and possibly conflict prone to be able to both specify an Avery label 
time, and to also seemingly specify everything geometrically.  I was 
hoping though, that I might be able to specify the Avery label and then 
use geometric parameters to make minor adjustments.

Thanks,  Hal

[Kbarcode] Unsuccessful import of csv data

[Chauncey M. <mon...@op...>]

For some reason, no data is being imported into KBarcode for batch 
printing from my csv file.  The two variables being used are $ID and 
$Name.  Following is a sample of the data directly from the csv from the 
file.  Any thoughts?

Name;ID
Bales, Jacob;20110060
Benjamin, Ethan;20110061
Bennett, Austen;20110062
Berlin, Tyler;20110063
Blair, Megan;20110064
...etc...

Thanks

Re: [Kbarcode] COMMAND interface to KBARCODE

[Dominik S. <dom...@we...>]

Hi Thomas,

There are several commandline options and also a DCOP interface. I once had an 
example around to kick KBarcode off from a batch script using DCOP. As I am 
traveling right now and the example is on a harddisk at home, I cannot send it 
to you for the next two weeks
You could try to play with the KDE3 tool kdcop to examine KBarcode's DCOP 
interface and how to start a batch print using this. Google will come up with 
some tutorials for dcop/kdcop

You can also take a look at our handbook at:
http://gentoo.llarian.net/distfiles/kbarcode-2.0.0.pdf

Section 7.8 explains the commandline options. Maybe these are enough for you.

Regards,
	Dominik

Re: [Kbarcode] generating a bunch of barcodes on 1 page

[Randy S. <sc...@ea...>]

On Sun, 24 Oct 2010, john clayton spaketh thusly:

-}The red X you're seeing can be due to the barcode format you've selected,

Ah my apologies.  I have not been specific enough.

I have tried both code 39 and codabar/gnu barcode.  I have verified that the
barcode reader works well with codabar but not code 39.  FWIW, both give the
same effect on my attempts.  When I generate a barcode with just a #,
everything works.  As soon as I add the serial tag, Mr. Red X.  ;>


-}
-}The [serial] tag goes into the Values field in the properties of the barcode
-}and it will be populated as you work your way thru the batch print dialogue.

Just to make sure everything fits, I have started working with Avery
A4/C2050 video spine.

So, Label Editor -> Insert barcode.

Dbl-click on the barcode.

Properties:
  - barcode settings: static (only available option)
  - encoding type : codabar
  - value: insert data field -> [serial]
  - advanced: tried both sequence enabled and sequence not enabled
  - display text: unchecked
  - margin, scale and rotation: unchanged
  - crop: 40%

At this point the barcode shows up with plenty of space.  Then ^p to print
  - 4 labels
  - start position 1
  - print to file

4 red x's.

Thoughts?

No worries on the timing, I think we all understand busy schedules and being
stretched too thin.

Here's a few notes for you.  I'm on holiday right now, if no one else
responds by the time i return, I'll put together some more notes for you.

The red X you're seeing can be due to the barcode format you've selected,
the shape and ratio may be wrong size or it doesn't have complete data and
won't have until it receives data from the Articles table in the database.
You'll need to see what format of barcode data your scanner supports before
you choose a format.  a simple format is Code 39 [GNU Barcode] and most
barcode scanners support it.

The [serial] tag goes into the Values field in the properties of the barcode
and it will be populated as you work your way thru the batch print dialogue.

Nope, had not tried the serial [serial] tag.

Been messing around with it.  Where does the tag go?  When I just put "1" as

[Kbarcode] generating a bunch of barcodes on 1 page

[Randy S. <sc...@ea...>]

Heya,

I am trying to generate a bunch of bar codes all on 1 page.  I think I am
coming close from a couple of angles but cannot seem to get to the last
step, even with the docs and the mail archives.

I am using KBarcode 2.0.7 installed w/o any databases ATM.  My current needs
are very simple).  For this I just need to do a 1-time run.

I brought up the barcode generator.  I'm doing a GNU barcode.  I enable
sequence, iterate over numbers, step by 1, start at 1000.  When I click on
generate, I just get the red X when it cannot generate a barcode.  I can put
in "1000" and it generates the barcode, but I need >200 of these.

I then messed around with the label generator.  I did an Avery A4, custom
label.  The custom label has width 20mm, height 10mm, h gap 20mm, v gap 10
mm, top gap 3 mm, left gap 3 mm.  This gives me 290 bar codes on 1 page
which is perfect for what we need.  But I cannot seem to figure out how to
now make each of these labels the next in a sequence.

Am I simply using the tool incorrectly, or have I not understood the
documentation and am missing steps?

Just announcing myself, as requested in the subscription email.

I'm looking to use kbarcode first for some volunteer work at the local co-op,

Tnx for such an excellent full-featured application.

Re: [Kbarcode] Barcode Formats

[Dominik S. <dom...@we...>]

Hi Dirk,

Simply put pdf417encode into your path and KBarcode should find it. 
Unfortunately, I do not know if KBarcode will work together with recent 
version of pdf417encode, as I did not have time to really work on KBarcode for 
the last 2 or 3 years.

This might also be the answer for your second question. libdmtx was not 
available when I started KBarcode and I did not have time to add any new 
barcode backends in the past. You might try to add support for it yourself 
easily though, if it can output images.

Regards,
	Dom

Re: [Kbarcode] Barcode Formats

[Dirk H. <iq...@go...>]

Hi,

I want to resume an old post from 2009 (see below) and have two questions:

Question 1:

How do I install the pdf417_enc barcode backend into kbarcode? I have
read kbarcode-2.0.0.pdf, looked at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdf417encode, downloaded the
pdf417encode source, decompressed it and read its README but I don't
know what to do now. Can somebody please point me in the right
direction?

Question 2:

The DataMatrix symbology is - according to the kbarcode website - only
available with the TBarcode backend, which is (beside the demo) not
for free. Is this some kind of legal issue why there is no free
kbarcode backend for DataMatrix or is it simply the only backend known
to the developers that supports DataMatrix? The question arose to me
because there is the GPL library libdmtx
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdmtx) that can produce and scan
DataMatrix.

Thanks in advance.

Dirk

Hi Robert,

THANKS A LOT for your work!

Unfortunately I'm not a programmer to give a hand...

[Kbarcode] kde 4 porting Status Update

[Robert K. <rob...@gm...>]

Hi all!

I have been quite busy lately, but I think I will have some time for porting 
tomorrow again. I am currently  working on porting code based on:

- QTable
- QHBox, QVBox
- QListView
- QSQLCursor

Its not so easy to say how much work is left, but a view days of full time 
work are required at a bare minimum, I think.

Best regards,

Robert

[Kbarcode] print quality and alignment

[Andreas M. <an...@an...>]

Hello!

I am new to this list and have some questions. If I print a barcode 39
to a label brother 29x90 mm I am not able to center the barcode and
the printingquality is not so good. How can I adjust the print so it
fits to the label and center it and how can I prejudice the quality?

And what is the password to connect to the database sqlite?

Kind regards

   Andreas

I will try to track your progess!

Keep up the good work!

[Robert K. <rob...@gm...>]

I am glad you are ok with publishing the port on gitorious. I did it in this 
very moment. 

You can find it on: 

http://gitorious.org/kbarcode-kde4/kbarcode-kde4

I successfully ported the dialogs in the latest commit.

Best regards,

Robert

Re: [Kbarcode] kde4 status

[Robert K. <rob...@gm...>]

Hi Dom!

As requested, I inform about progress. I started porting today, the kde 
porting guide is quite helpful. I already managed to port some stuff, I will 
publish the project on gitorious as soon as possible. At the moment it seems 
to be an absolutely manageable task, but lets see. :-)

I ported the KWizard based stuff to KAssistantWidget, I also followed the 
suggestion to rename all occurrences of wizard with assistant, including the 
configuration entry for the wizard, so this change will break current user 
settings, is this a big issue?

I also started porting the KDialogBase based classes to the new classes 
KDialog and KPageDialog, at the moment I struggle a bit with the plainPage() 
method, as I am currently not completely sure what this method does and how to 
replace it, but I think I am close to figuring it out.

Best regards,

Robert

Hi Robert,

If you prefer git, I am of course fine with it. Choose the tool that suits you 
best. If you could publish them on gitorious, I think it would be even easier 
for others to follow you. 

It would be nice though, if you could keep the mailinglist informed about your 
progress. Maybe we can also help sometimes.

Good luck!

Hi Dom!

Thanks for the fast answer. I thought of simply tracking my changes via git 
and maybe publish them on gitorious, as there are plans to move kde to 
gitorious, this might not be such a bad idea and it would ease contribution a 
little. Merging the changes back to svn, should not be a problem either.

What do you think? Anyways, thanks for your support, I already checkout out 
the source and will start as soon as I have a free evening :-)

Best regards, 

Robert

Re: [Kbarcode] kde4 status

[Dominik S. <dom...@we...>]

Hi Robert,

Only little progress has been made since the last thread on the mailinglist. Therefore, I would be really happy, if you could join the project and help a bit with porting. Basically you have to check out the trunk, try to compile it and fix any stuff that does not compile. Maybe you would like to send a small patch first and I can give you SVN access later if you want.

If you have further questions, do not hesitate to ask.

Best regards,
  Dom

[Kbarcode] kde4 status

[Robert K. <rob...@gm...>]

Hi!

I followed the thread: kbarcode with kde4, what is the current state? I am a 
rather experienced C++ programmer and I recently got acquainted with qt4, so I 
think I could help with porting.

Best regards,

Robert

Re: [Kbarcode] kbarcode with KDE4

[Dominik S. <dom...@we...>]

Hi,

Thanks for this change! I commited it, as it should be fine. Though I do not 
think this was an error, the line was prefixed with "warning" using my 
compiler. 

A warning is dangerous and ugly, too, so it should be fixed sometimes and that 
is why your change is great. For the first porting issues I would concentrate 
on real errors though. I usually start with the first error, as you will make 
progress easier this way. But maybe this is only my personal style.

While committing your change, I fixed a few ugly issues which are maybe very 
C++ specific. So it compiles a bit further now and I hope these changes will 
help you.

Best regards,
	Dom
