hello, can you enhance the user experience?

[ReZeroS]

It's so cool and worked well, but can you enhance the user experience? Here is my requirements:

I wanna generate the image by select the barcode text and then right click, the screen will print the image(cloud in a small window), since there is a lot of type of codes, I wanna you can provide a setting to change the default type, so I will not need to ensure the type every time generated click.

Hi, thanks for your feedback!

I did this extension many years ago in my free time to help me create barcodes at work.

I will check if it is difficult to add the ability to create barcodes from right click.

It may take me a long time to get around to checking.
