Detecting multiple code types #23

AndreMiras · 2018-05-27T00:54:52Z

I'm currently migrating my app (https://github.com/AndreMiras/QrScan) and libraries (https://github.com/kivy-garden/garden.zbarcam) from zbar (built-in module) to zbarlight, and I came across this: https://github.com/Polyconseil/zbarlight/blob/2.0/src/zbarlight/_zbarlight.c#L27

zbar_image_scanner_set_config(scanner, 0, ZBAR_CFG_ENABLE, 0); /* disable all symbologies */
zbar_image_scanner_set_config(scanner, symbologie, ZBAR_CFG_ENABLE, 1);

I can imagine enabling only one type at a time is currently a feature of this project. But I think it would be great to have the choice to enable multiple features at a time with a list, e.g.

zbarlight.scan_codes(['qrcode', 'ean13'], pil_image)

Moves from unmaintained zbar core python module, to `zbarlight` one. Currently uses an old `zbarlight==1.2` version rather than `2.0` because the other one requires `setuptools>=30.3` which doesn't yet have working p4a recipe. Unfortunately `zbarlight` doesn't yet make it possible to detect multiple code types at the same time, see: Polyconseil/zbarlight#23 But this is something we may workaround until it gets integrated upstream. Also, this brings another regression since the code type detection is fixed to `qrcode`. This will be fixed in subsequent commits. Last, this commit doesn't yet provide Python3 support, but migrating was the first mandatory step of it.

zbarlight doesn't yet provide a more efficient way to do this, see: Polyconseil/zbarlight#23

Searching for only one kind of bar code a the time is not a wanted feature of zbarlight, It's just that for now we only need to search for one kind of bar code at once.

@AndreMiras

As suggested by @AndreMiras, zbarlight should be able to scan more than one code type at once. resolve #23

The new feature is available in zbarlight 2.1. Please let's us known if you have issue using it.
