The new packages that are built against libqt4 in PR1.2 are on their way through the autobuilder now. If everything works as expected they should be ready for download from extras-devel in 10 minutes.

I'll take another look at how we might be able to get it up and running this evening.

The other option was to broadcast DBUS messages when a barcode is found, this was pretty simple in GTK+, not sure about Qt.
Sounds good! I have been looking at PythonQt a bit myself and it seems reasonable that we should be able to make a framework for plugins on top of it. About DBUS messages I think it should be fairly easy to work with those in Qt as well. There is some info about them here: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6//intro-to-dbus.html

But I suggest we go for PythonQt first and DBUS second. With PythonQt we should more easily be able to integrate plugins in the main app.

You've talked about it earlier, but I don't remember if you implemented it. Thanks for having a look at it You know that pipeline stuff a lot better than I do
