While picking through the thread it occurs to me to post some features/plugins I run across to make it easier for you (Lardman) to update.

First, this plugin for installing plugins through apt (apturl):

Next, a mention that you want people to be able to email you "problematic" barcodes. I don't see a way to do this so I thought I'd throw it in here.

Next, Lardman's database plugin (Fixed):

Finally, is Lardman's database plugin working with this new version, it's not clear to me that it should be? I know mBarcode had to be fixed before it would work, but I don't know that fixing mBarcode was all that was needed for it to work. If it should be working, how do I load it? I see a way to edit plugins, but no way to import them.
I needed to get DBus signal sending working before that ItemDB program could work (as one can use DBus to start an app which is not running). I had originally planned a plugin solely for this purpose, but decided that it would probably be easier for people to write a small Python wrapper to send a DBus signal to their app.
The Python plugin is working, so there's no reason why people can't now have mBarcode start their apps and send them DBus (or other) signals via a Python plugin. Note that mBarcode also sends out broadcast DBus messages when a barcode is decoded, so if your app is running anyway it can just listen out for these.
The idea is not for people to be able to import these, but for them to be provided by the application that plans to use the data, but in any case they go under /usr/share/mbarcode/plugins/ (for C++) or /usr/share/mbarcode/plugins/qtpython/ (for python)

I may have missed it in the 70+ pages of thread I've read. I'll be sure to provide updates ASAP. I'm very excited about this progress, I hope your (Lardman's) book-scanning is smooth on your side as well!

I didn't see the python script, I'm sure it's there, I'll look again. I thought I was looking for the db program. Once I do find the python script, how to I add it as a plugin (or otherwise access it through mBarcode)?

If not, do you have the file in question (can you re-attach it), and once you do so, can you explain how to access it in mBarcode?

No, that's the one, rename it (get rid of the .txt extension which I had to add to allow the file to be attached) and place it in /usr/share/mbarcode/plugins/pythonqt/
Then it should just appear in the plugin settings window (if you want to disable all other plugins and only have that one running) or otherwise it will be listed in the results window when you scan an EAN/ISBN barcode.
You'll need to install pyside from extras-devel (if this script were packaged up correctly rather than just a single file, that would be a dep to be automatically installed.)
It's just Python code, take a look at it, should be pretty easy to understand what it's doing, etc.

It seems that libraries such as zbar for Maemo 5 is not available on maemo.org dev site. zbar 0.10-maemo4 is there, but no zbar 0.10-maemo5. Anyone can comment on that? I am not sure why there is issue because it appears that libraries were released regularly with every next release of maemo but no latest build?

Yes, I understand that "maemo4" is just a symbolic notation, however installer generates error saying that zbar 0.10-maemo4 is not compatible with current version of OS installed on my phone which is maemo5. From that I assume that there are significant differences that would prevent this build of libzbar from working properly on maemo5?

I have a feeling this is to do with versioning requirements in mBarcode - i.e. mBarcode does not rely upon any particular version of the plugins, while it should really rely upon a version that is later than or equal to the one where the API change occurred.
Do you see any output if you start mBarcode from the terminal (you might see something about plugins not loading)?
In any case I'd try removing all the plugins, then re-install (this may force mBarcode to be uninstalled while you uninstall the plugins).
Sorry about that, I really should sort the deps out properly for things like this API break.
Let us know how you get on.
