Use zxingorg to scan barcodes inside the config panel.

[unlobito]

zxingorg could be used with a HTML upload form to scan barcodes inside the config panel.

If done, the UI needs to explain this is not a real time scan and zxingorg needs a clear photo of the barcode.

Any progress on this? I'm having major headaches playing guessing games when trying to import codes, especially for ones that I don't actually recognize the type of barcode. I'd donate for something like this to be implemented properly.

@n4ru It's next up on my task list. (:

In the mean time, I'd advise using something like Manatee Works' Barcode Scanner which will allow you to see the barcode type and copy the data into skunk.

Started work on this in unlobito/skunk-config@7604b5d

Works fine for the barcode content but doesn't fill in the barcode type. Might have to fork https://github.com/ecin/zxing.rb to better deal with that.
