This version fixes a couple of issues people have been having. It displays as an icon (a square target) in the statusbar rather than the word 'Barcode' and the barcode generated now has a clear-space border again, which should make it easier for the phone to read

As the summary says, this is just a quick post to announce the release of Mobile Barcoder 0.1.5 into the Firefox Addons Sandbox. How long it takes to get it out of the sandbox and into your browser is anyone's guess, but you should be able to install it directly from the sandbox if you can work out how.

Stay tuned, as the long-awaited 0.2.0 release will be released soon, including options for the barcode size and a choice between QR Code and Data Matrix generation. Hopefully that will make the clones that are floating around obsolete.

Comments

Thanks for updating the extension. It works great now using the native barcode reader on my nokia phone. No more issues thanks to the thicker white border around the code.

In my spare time I'm an avid new technology fan, and constantly strive to find innovative uses for the new gadgets I manage to get my hands on. Most recently I've been investigating Mobile Codes, RFID and Home automation (mainly Z-Wave). With a keen eye for usability I'm attempting to create some cost-effective, DIY technology solutions which would rival even high-end retail products. The software I develop is usually released as Open Source.

I have a Finnish geek partner, so have begun the difficult task of learning Finnish.
