Improve scan flow: remove bar codes #1

Closed dave-ruest closed 5 months ago

The scanner currently gets "stuck" on bar codes which in practice are highly likely to be product codes, not isbn codes. This makes the scanning process longer and more difficult.

Actions:

remove bar code scanning. only scan text, looking for ISBN/SBN etc
improve feedback: if we are searching for multiple isbn codes, list all codes in a progress message

Change of plan. Now that we are scanning text only, in testing it looks like we will rarely have more than one scan result. So there should be no need to show a progress message with multiple ISBNs.
