I don't have any other tablet myself, so I'm unable to do it myself.

I experienced the same bug too and was hoping noone used that version before I got to fix it :-p It is the default search providers that have been overwritten with an URL containing the first barcode you searched for.
To fix this you just have to update to the newest version of the plugin and remove the config file by running this command in terminal:
The next time you run the application everything should be as it is supposed to.Code:rm /home/user/.config/mbarcode/webrequest-plugin.conf
Thanks a bunch, and do well on your exams (I'm sorry I might have kept you away from your books.)

I got an idea to call refocus on a time interval instead of only when the "Refocus" button is clicked. I have updated the newest version of mbarcode with this, and would really like to hear if this works as expected for everybody 
If it does, I believe we could remove the 'Refocus' button completely.

For me it doesn't seem I'll need to use the manual refocus again.
Another nice, and user-friendly addition to the app. Thanks Dragly

Hi,
Couple of questions about this wonderful app:
* Is there any Python script/plugin integration yet? (from what I could make out by reading this topic, there isn't?)
* If I wanted to integrate a Python script with this program at this moment, what are my options? (someone mentioned DBUS?)
* If there isn't any easy integration yet: wouldn't it be a good idea to provide a simple 'Execute program/script' plugin that just lets you configure (multiple) programs/scripts to be run, with the result of the scan as command line parameter(s)? Each configured program/script would be run when you click on it's button that is show on the 'Results from scan' screen.
This would allow integration with practically anything, no?
* Regarding the latest improvement about refocus: I just installed mbarecode from extras-devel, but the auto refocus feature isn't there. Or is this just uploaded to the garage page, but not the repo?

It should be a simple case of making a plugin similar to the webrequest plugin, and just change the URLs to commands and have the commands run in terminal or something instead of opening the browser. However, I think I'll focus on integrating Python completely first, but a script launcher is a decent alternative.

If it doesn't work you should try to update the package using App Manager and check that the version is 0.1.9. You can check the version of the package if you look at the number next to mbarcode in the uninstall menu in App Manager.

Allright, thanks!
The auto refocus feature is working as well now, I didn't have an updated package db when I first installed mbarcode It works pretty good, allthough I wouldn't let an epileptic person look at it

I have no idea why the flickering occurs, nor why it is so intense. Maybe it has something to do with the underlying camera libraries? If someone has an idea about how to fix that, please speak up

dragly, I'm replying to your post from my thread about the GUI for mBarcode (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=48151). I don't have any formal graphic design expertise, but I've been doing web development and advertising on the side for a long time. I threw together my vision for mBarcode, although its not my app so feel free to tear it apart (because I added some extra buttons you don't have in your current design). Thoughts?
