#77 Label under bar code is truncated

[Esther Hautebas]

Hi,
This is the first time I use this tool and I would like to say thank you for sharing it. It's a great tool. :o)

I downloaded the version of 2017-10-16 you posted yesterday and tried to play with it. I found these issues: the text under the barcode is always truncated to 5 characters.

When I delete the text Data to encode, the error message "Error 205: No input data" appears in the drawing area, and the program stops working (crash).

I hope this will help to improve the tool.
Thanks
Esther

Esther,
thank you for the comments on the wind 32 test version.

crash when made empty. A crash was reproducible like that:

I could reproduce a crash like that:

• start the program with symbology = Datamatrix
• set Data = "Your".
• Then press two times the delete key.

There is a core dump. I am not sure if it is due to Datamatrix does not support only 3 characters or if there is another issue.

Is your core-dump covered by this test ?

interpretation always truncated to 5 characters

I could reproduce something similar like that:

• choose Code128 as symbology
• Use data "Your Data Here!"
• The interpetation line is truncated by 2 characters.

Indeed, the two issues are apparently related.
The input widget always removes the first two characters.
If there are only two, there is a core dump.

Robin, could that be due to the BMP removal snipped ?

Thank you all,
Harald

What an embassingly silly mistake! Yes, this is because I didn't implement the strip BOM function properly. A patch is on its way imminently.

Thank you for the bug report.

Robin.
