+ | * Decode from image file - code is in SVN and should really work, but I've obviously made a mistake somewhere (the image data is passed to the decoder threads, and appears to be valid data, and the same format as the video data which does work, when it's output to file to debug it, but still it's not working). I've tested with zbarimg on the pc, so the data that is being fed to mBarcode should work. Any thoughts or extra eyes on the code to spot my mistake gratefully received. | ||
* Plugin API modification - currently each plugin implements an isReady() method which is called to see whether the plugin is ready to be displayed in the ResultsWindow. This means that we continue to poll plugins to see if they are "ready" when they might in fact not be interested in the barcode payload at all. We should change this to something along the lines of an isInterested() method and an isReady() method for those that are "interested". Talking to Dragly it might be worth implementing this using signals and slots. | * Plugin API modification - currently each plugin implements an isReady() method which is called to see whether the plugin is ready to be displayed in the ResultsWindow.

* Support more barcode types - this is mainly down to [http://zbar.sourceforge.net/ ZBar] (though if you find a good decoder for an unsupported barcode type I'm quite happy to look at adding it in in addition to the current ones). Currently in the works is PDF417 and it would also be good to have things like Aztec. Please head over to the ZBar site to grab their code and do some hacking if you think you can help with this or any other barcodes. | * Support more barcode types - this is mainly down to [http://zbar.sourceforge.net/ ZBar] (though if you find a good decoder for an unsupported barcode type I'm quite happy to look at adding it in in addition to the current ones).

* Speed up Data Matrix decoding - work is underway in the [http://www.libdmtx.org/ libdmtx] project to re-write the code and make it run faster. I imagine that as with other open source projects, offers of help would be gratefully received. | * Speed up Data Matrix decoding - work is underway in the [http://www.libdmtx.org/ libdmtx] project to re-write the code and make it run faster.
