Thank you!

Sorry to hear that :(. The system calls I use have stayed the same though. Does the Livescan mode work for you in 0.8a? Regarding the v0.9x versions, the executable has to be in the same directory as the installed Barcorama, that is, along with Barcorama.exe. I have deliberately renamed the test versions so they will not overwrite the installed Barcorama.exe

There is no password recovery method. Actually, one it will never exist and the system will get even more secure and "irreversible": My plans are to encrypt the relationship between the data and the user so even the system administrator won't be able to look into the data (unless the admin steal a user's password). I want to make it impossible (if feasible) to construct a public user profile.

Since you have no data already submitted, what I can do is delete your account and you can register again :). I will PM you (if you don't mind) to inform you.

thank you for your interest ;)

have fun,

Ohh yes live scan in 8.a works marvelously. But this may be the solution, I was running 9.c from a different directory. I will move the executable to where it belongs and see if that makes magic happen again.

Hello there, first of all. Thxs for a great prog, I´ll use it all the time.

But now I´ve tried to look at the code to see if I can understand how it works, but when I try to run the code in debug-mode, I get some error:

System.IO.FileLoadException was unhandled
Message="Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=969db8053d3322ac' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)"
Source="Barcorama"

This is in main() when it´s trying to create an instance of BarcoramaCL

BarcoramaCL f=new BarcoramaCL();

I´m a beginner in programming and maybe this is easy to fix, but I can´t understand what´s wrong.:confused:

I´ve tried in VC# express 2005 and VC# 2008 with no luck.

Can you direct me to some info about how I can fix this?

new version

EDIT: a bug was found after entering the purchase price (thank you user nhariton). I'll fix it later at home and upload an new version :)

Hello XDA-ers!

I've updated the #1 post with a new version of Barcorama. Various fixes, new features and optimizations in this version... Unfortunately, previous versions are not compatible with costpad.com anymore (Shop info fetch has changed), so it is rather mandatory to use this new version to interact with costpad.com.

This version is built using VS C# Express 2008, so perhaps some incompatibilities may arise (NETCFv3.5 may be needed). I haven't really time to test it against NETCFv2.0, so any feedback regarding this will be useful.

have fun,

hypest

P.S. I noticed that several users have registered with costpad.com and some have submitted new shops, but only one has submitted any products or purchases! So, I wonder: is there something wrong with the site? Maybe too difficult to interact or disfunctional?

Is it possible to get a cab for the 0.9f version?

I flash my Touch HD twice a week (due to rom upgrade's) and it would be nice to have a cab, it's easier to install
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hypest:
cab is nicer, yes :) but Barcorama is in a rather highly alpha+beta stage right now and I don't want to disrupt the "OK" version a casual user may have installed. This is why I release a dedicated named .exe with each version, so a rather experienced user can try it out...

It won't be long though till I release a cab, since the costpad.com integration is quite adequate for the moment and bug reports are infrequent.

Thank you very much

Thanks for making this project open sourced, hope it will be better.

Thank you ,hypest! Very nice work!:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Ezurus:
Very nice program! Works very well. This program is very useful as is, but here is a wish list of interface improvements for you to consider:

A setting to make it go directly to "scan" (or input method of choice) on opening. After all, this is the sort of program you just want to open and use quickly in the store or whatnot.

A way to have more than one "arguments" setting with the ability to give them names like one for "Amazon" and "Google Product Search," etc. In fact, would be nice to have some popular ones pre-set (if it doesn't violate and website use policies or whatever). This should be something that can be easily changed in the scan mode. Ideally with a default seach that is used, and not with a prompt after scanning the code.

Even though I disabled the "ask first" option, I am always asked before opening the external program... would be nice to be able to skip that prompt. EDIT: I found that if you manually edit the settings file, the prompt goes away, so there's an error that keeps the setting from being saved when selected in the program

A button or something to reset the camera in scan mode so you don't have to go "Change Method" and then select scan again to scan another code. (BTW "Change Method" is the only way to get out of the scan and it takes you back to the previous menu, wouldn't "back" be a better name for that option?)

Anyways, thanks again for this program. I've been wanting something like this for a while.

Hi hypest,it works 1D code well,but when I try to decode qrcode,it always gives "no barcode" error, so I digged into the commited code (actually thanks for your sharing:,nice project)),and found the code leading this problem,now it can decode qrcode(but I am not sure whether it will lead other problems),please check SourceForge
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dslisfree:
Wonderful program!

How would you export the UPC code into a text field of your choice given that the cursor is already on that field(i.e. some text field in a windows application)?

Also have a button in the scanning mode to scan another code instead of having to exit the menu through :use different method: then going back in again.

Tia

**Update**

In a around about way I have answered my first question. Use barcorama in conjunction with a desktop phone controller like MyMobiler. These desktop controllers will allow you to copy and paste from the clipboard of the phone onto the PC hence allowing you to export the scanned barcode onto your desktop.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] daniel81k:
I tested Barcorama_v0.9f on my SonyEricsson Xperia X1 (WM 6.1), but it doesn't work.

The program itself starts properly and all points of the menu are available, selectable and displayed correctly. But if i want "shoot" any barcode the camera opens but freezes the whole mobile. If i select "shoot" there's only the start display of the camera (grey camera at the center of the screen on white background). There's no posibility to take a shoot! The only thing i can do is a softreset. If i open a captured image of a barcode with barcorama, it shows the picture and displays "please wait..." and thats it! The only thing i can do is a softreset again.

I'm using my Xperia X1 with original Vodafone-Germany branded ROM: R2AA010.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fatmonk:
Hi, another SE Xperia X1 test and it looks like I have had a bit more luck (stock UK o2 unit).

If I shoot a barcode manually and select to open a local image it works OK - it just takes quite a while to analyse the barcode (thats OK, just a note to others to be patient).

If I select shoot from the menu, the camera app opens up OK when my phone is in landscape (keyboard open), but when I take a shot the software returns to Barcorama but with the message 'No capture!'.

If I try to take a shot from Barcoraman Portrait I get the same problem daniel81k describes with the phone freezing on the camera startup screen.

FYI, the Xperia stores images in a DCIM/100XPRIA folder by default (on the Storage card) - it seems that Barcorama is maybe looking in its own local install folder instead.

Hope this helps.

I think this is it...?

I think this is the answer to the question I was thinking of. So, I tried the 0.9g zip. I went to my existing Barcorama directory, moved the Barcorama.exe 0.8 to a temp folder, and extracted the new .exe from the zip to the existing Barcorama directory. That didn't work (I forget the exact error i got, I think it was about camera dll or something - it was late/I was drinky ;).

Anyhow, i removed new .exe, and retrieved the old 0.8x.

Should I have just extracted the new 0.9 .exe to existing Barcorama directory ALONGSIDE, TOGETHER with old 0.8 .exe WOTHOUT REMOVING old .exe? I believe that's what this post says to do. Can anyone clarify/confirm, please?

Thanks to hypest for all your effort and responses :)

Tried this software on a Diamond2. Works for most 2D barcodes, but not the larger ones (especially Datamatrix barcodes that are comprised of 4 units.)

Before I used it I could press the virtual camera button and it would auto-focus and take a shot.

After I used it, I now have to hold the virtual camera button down or it won't take the picture. It also change my shutter sound.

Does anyone know if Barcorama modifies any settings files? For the heck of it I can't seem to be able to switch my camera functionality to how it was before.

Otherwise the app works a treat! Thanks!

Funny to see someone else experience this, I thought I was the only one. I didn't post about it cuz I figured no one would believe me.

I always had my camera set to "touch and shoot". It originally had 3options; touch and shoot, touch and press, and prrss and shoot. After using/trying the 0.9 exe, my camera changed to "touch and press. When I went to fix the settings, I only have 2 setting options, and they're labelled different than they used to be. I don't have my ROM #handy. I think it is 1.09.9615.5

@hhhs001

I don't know if this helps. I also am using Diamond (old Diamond). Camera version 6.02, build 31657. When I open camera, if I touch the screen 3 icons pop up across the bottom. The far right one is settings. If I click settings, a window pops up for resolution, white balance, etc. one setting button is just titled 'advanced'. Clicking that opens up 5 pages of settings. On the 3rd or 4th page is an option called 'shoot option'. Mine had 3 options under that (now only has 2, titled diffrrently than before :( )

Hope this helps you any.

Maybe, could you provide any input from my question 4 posts prior, regarding running barcorama 0.8 and putting 0.9 exe in directory and not working?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hypest:
scottspa74, thank you for your kind words!

The v0.9 ZIPs containt just the application executable. To run it needs the DLL files that exist in the installed Barcorama directory. So, to use it, one must unzip it directly in the Barcorama directory. Then, to run it one must execute the Barcorama_v09g.exe using a file manager. To be able to run it through the Start menu shortcut, one must rename or overwrite the existing Barcorama.exe as the shortcut points to "Barcorama.exe". The "old" version (v0.8) executable is not needed to run the v0.9.

I hope these clarify the matter...

Regarding the changed Camera behavior, Barcorama does not actively alter any system settings, but I can't rule out the possibility that the WM APIs that Barcorama uses, have system-wide side effects such as the ones mentioned.

I think more study and experimentation is needed for this... maybe there are other apps that exhibit such side effects too.

surprisingly, "live scanning" is enabled in settings. When I first read your post, I thought, "oh yeah, duh, thats it". But then I did enable live scanning and still had blacked our scan option.

Maybe a bug is lurking there, so if you have the time/will to check it deeper, please check the settings.txt (using any text editor). In there, the LIVESCAN variable should be "TRUE". Also, through the UI, try to disable it, exit and relaunch the app and then re-enable it.

yeah, v0.8 UI was not exactly bad, but was not scalable enough for the features introduced in v0.9x.
