Do we have anything so that I can stick a code in font of the camera on my laptop and it works like Android?

I'm not aware of any, but if you're doing a lot of scanning, you might want to use a scanner. They're cheap and convert the bar codes into a numeric string. The ones I used years ago connected between the keyboard and computer, but these days they should be using USB. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Sorry, I was thinking of bar code scanners, but QR scanners are also available. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yeah, I'm a bit stuck. On other systems you start the app and anything you put close to the camera 'beeps' if it has a qr. I've around 80 computers to adapt to be able to do this so I was hoping for a zypper one liner.

A couple of seconds of hard Googling turned up this: http://lifehacker.com/5756268/zbar-brings-barcode-and-qr-code-scanning-to-yo ur-desktop

I made a search on

http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=zbar

and found it as unstable package for oS 12.2 ; 12.3 ; 13.1 ; TW ; and SUSE 11 SP 2 & 3
