Support for different barcode types #761

What is the problem you are trying to solve with this feature?

Currently the system automatically generates QR codes for each object created.

However, users do not have the ability to choose to use a different barcode symbology for inventory tracking.

What is the solution you are proposing?

Provide users with the option to choose between QR, DataMatrix, Aztec and any other symobology that can fit a URL in a reasonabley sized barcode.
An additional barcode configuration option might be providing users with the ability as to what to include in the automatically generated QR codes. For instance rather than include the URL string, they could also include the asset/location ID as a line of text (etc).

What alternatives have you considered?

I don't think we're going to implement this. QR codes serve the purpose for most if not all home users. These feels like more of business use case than anything else.

If you need this for a business purpose you can reach and I can provide you a quote to implement this in a custom version.
