need option to not append newline

2024-11-22T17:02:59.333000Z

zbarimg (for QR code) always appends a newline to the decoded result, even with -q --raw;
for automatic processing, it should be possible to retrieve the encoded contents verbatim, with nothing added, even if the last line is missing a newline

#100 feature request: please make the displayed image mirrorable, rotateable

2024-01-05T11:42:35.636000Z

to be clear: this feature request is about the camera image being displayed and not about the camera image being fed to whatever algorithm you use to recognize and decode qr codes/barcodes/etc

feature request: please make the displayed image mirrorable, rotateable

2024-01-05T11:40:41.530000Z

running zbarcam 0.23.92 on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS up-to-date
Linux af1 6.2.0-39-generic #40~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Nov 16 10:53:04 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'd like to have the following (or similar) commandline flags to be added:
--mirror-vertical -- mirrors the displayed image vertically
--mirror-horizontal -- mirrors the displayed image horizontally
--rotate=degree -- rotates the displayed image by the given amount of degrees, I'd like at least multiples of 90 to be supported

reason: currently the camera image is upside down when I use zbarcam on my ultraportable machine in tent mode. my best guess is that --rotate=180 will fix this issue

thank you in advance.

There is a clone over at https://github.com/mchehab/zbar which has more development activity (and is probably where your 0.23 came from), maybe you should report the issue there.

#87 Wrong character enconcoding

2023-02-04T10:34:24.941000Z

Does zbarimg emit UTF-8? According to the German Wikipedia, UTF-8 does not require a Byte Order Mark (BOM) in UTF-8 encoded files. According to Wikipedia, a BOM causes trouble with several text editors.

However, if zbarimg writes its output tin the standard output device, why should it add a BOM?

Is your bug the same one as #73, the unability to correctly emit some accented characters and Umlaute and German character ß?

#73 zbar incorrect character display

Today, in version 0.23, ten years later than the last discussion, the bug is still present as experienced on Xubuntu 20.04.2: The letter "ß" appearing in my name is output as a Chinese character ﾃ歹. zbarimg should output as utf-8 by default - or at least should have an option to do so.
