is structured append supported? #1

Closed DanielRuf closed 8 years ago

DanielRuf commented 12 years ago

would like to generate up to 16 qr codes from 1 existing file (eg a small javascript file is generated to 16 qr codes holding the sourcecode of the javascript file)

I am using the ZXing (http://code.google.com/p/zxing/) library at the moment, and as much i know, they don't support structured append.

hm so there are no current solutions (as standalone jar) to generate qr codes using structured append? Why not? QR codes could be the future

Think about this scenario: Someone writes a book about javascript and adds some examples for download on a cd or website but these data are lost after many years (website shutdown or cd is broken) but he could add the source codes as printed qr codes using structured append - these data are always available until the paper is too old to hold the printed colors and information ...

So it would make much sense to support this ?

Well i don't think you need structured append for this, one qrcode can hold a lot of data (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code#Storage) without structured append. But if ZXing (or some other opensource java qrcode library) will support this, i will implement it.

2 KBytes are not so much for full sourcecodes of little scripts.

Well, this would be great =)
