BarWal in a way is a continuation of ClubCode, as extending ClubCode is not easy to do and the data storage system is not very flexible.
BarWal (Barcode Wallet) makes use of groups to get more structure in the codes collection. It uses zint (available in my repo) for generating all the code images.
Zint supports a lot of codes:
- Code 11
- Standard 2of5
- Interleaved 2of5
- IATA 2of5
- Data Logic
- Industrial 2of5
- Code 39
- Extended Code 39

As with ClubCode: barcode can be used to scan codes and paste them via the clipboard in BarWal.
Adding custom icons
If you prefer to have more recognizable custom icons in the barcode list (company logo or so), you can add them instead of having a default icon.
Steps to take:
- Get you icon (png format) ready, normally 128x128p. The height can be less, but the width should be 128 pixels for a proper result.
- Make sure this image file is exactly named "barwal_icon.png"
- Upload it to your Pictures (gallery) folder on the SFOS device. You can check if it shows up in the Gallery.
- Choose edit from your related barcode in BarWal and press the "Import custom icon" button.
- That should be it, you can now remove this icon image from your gallery once again.

It is created for SailfishOS, not some derivative. Anyway, if you can show me some non-russian documentation guideline on this matter I can look into it. Not being allowed to use /usr/lib and /usr/share will effect more apps than just Zint.

Adding Plussakortti (K-Plussa) took me some trial and error, but typing the 16 numbers without spaces and choosing Code 39 did the trick. The card itself doesn't have a barcode, but the cash register system recognises barcodes as well. Just wanted to share this information in case someone finds it useful.

Hello, any plans to implement an export , import ? I have lost my codes in clubcarte due to reflash, phone switch etc. Thanks P

It does support Slava's My Backup for a potential restore. But if you lost your codes due to a reflash earlier, there is not much to restore anyway I guess.

yup and it happend again :(
but now i did check my packup and it is pretty cool
only i think you will need to update barwalt for sailjail sooner or later

What sailjail update are we talking about? Sailjail is disabled for BarWal, because else it can't communicate with the Zint backend.

Hi, is it possible to store european covid passport in your app? I tried by scanning the qr-code with codereader app and create a new entry in barwal, but the new qr-code Is different from the original one. (with code type = qr code)

Different QR codes (e.g. with different error correction levels) may visually differ and yet contain exactly the same information. As long as the information doesn't get damaged, the certificate must remain valid.

Thanks for commenting on this. I know you added some code to Barcode to recognize EU Digital COVID Certificates, but I cannot imagine it would mean some new QR-code variant.

You can try this - scan your Digital COVID Certificate code with CodeReader (aka BarCode), copy text to clipboard (the one prefixed with
HC1:
), convert it back to QR code with e.g. QR Clip, probably get a visually different QR code, scan it again and you should see the same certificate.Note that CoreReader doesn't verify the signature, and therefore doesn't guarantee the validity of the certificate. It only decodes the payload.

Thank you for a great app.
I would also add my interest in being able to scan directly to the app. However using Slava's Code Reader and copying and pasting into Barwal isn't too painful.
Is possible to add a feature where it's possible to move codes into another group. This would cater for the situation where a code is created in the wrong group.
Thanks again for a great app.

Had a move option in mind but left it out as not often used.
But it is added now after all.

Hi ade. May it is a solution if you work together with slava. May he implement a call/button for your app and transfer the data for saving ... then the pain will be gone. ;)

If anyone wants to create a PR for scanner integration or another solution, please do. Both BarCode and SailOTP use the qzxing library for barcdode image processing and some camera stuff will be needed of course. The qzxing library supports about 13 of the more common codes (zint/barwal has more than 50).
It is not on my todo list right now, as it is no trival task, and I am perfectly fine with BarCode doing this job for me.

Sad, but without code recognition from camera, not usefull (need open second app for recognize code, than copy it, and add here =) )

Consider you have a product list with 300+ numbers and you are looking for the name of the profuct (search function is going over names and codes)
And the hit would be to have an CSV import/export function :)

With the NFC field I think e.g. for a bank card o. a time limited travel ticket. There is a bar code and a NFC code combined in one card. If you show the bar code so in the same time also the NFC code could be present for payment in the bus or metro or .... If I'm right then slava should have this prosesses also in his travel calculation app for Helsinki Card. ...and this should be only an idear for the future so there is no hurry ... you know hopefully what I like go say. In each way I'm happy to have your solution. Thanks once again.

Hi ade. You guessed right, I meant the request groups at option. I think if there is a search field on top of the group page and you start typing a code name then the filtered codes appear under the search field. As more specific the filter name get as less codes appear. If someone like to choose the group then he jump in the group as it is right now.

Your point is clear to me now, a global search on the group page. Groups where introduced to bring order, a global search would be more appropiate if no group ordering existed. The specific recent "complaint" was people wanted to have their limited amount of codes on one (start)page, no searching or group selecting first.
I do have quite a lot of (test) barcodes, but ordered are easy to find for me.

Wow. That was fast. And works like a charm. Needed to figure out, that selecting group for auto open has to be set by long pressing group, but that's ok. Maybe I overlooked some explanation from you ;-) Thx a lot!

I want to avoid adding a separate settingspage while still possible, so I indeed added it to the submenu visible after a long press. I think people will find it there in the end if they want to use it :-)
Btw the reason it is put there is that you can also set it for a group if you have multiple groups.

@ade Is not the search field where you shrink by typing the results on the 1st page a solution also for the option request?
And a other point. Wouldn' t it be consequent to extend the wallet with an NFC field for each code entry?
ade

What do you mean by the option request? Making groups optional? I do not see how those two are related.
About NFC: I am not really familiar with that. All I know it's functionality is very limited on SFOS. What is that NFC field supposed to contain anyway?

Nice! Thanks!
Tried to use it for COVID vac cert, but it failed, err 125: invalid option, and then it starts in the middle of the sring: "43%C0C9B8H2...", which is after the first space in the string. On a PC it works, "cat cert.txt|qrencode -o tmp.png".

Indeed, it does not play nice with spaces. I hope release 0.1.0-3 fixed this.
