--reverse only works with --notext, and then produces code WITH text

[swbr]

Hello!

I'm using v2.4.2 on Windows10 on the command line.

Starting with zint.exe --barcode=20 --output="c:/my/file.png" -d "Zint is great" one gets a PNG with a Code128 barcode and a text string.

I saw the --reverse option and thought I can use it to generate a negative: zint.exe --barcode=20 --reverse --output="c:/my/file.png" -d "Zint is great" But this does not produce a PNG, nor any error message or return value !=0.

One could think that --reverse is not supported by Code128, but interestingly zint.exe --barcode=20 --reverse --notext --output="c:/my/file.png" -d "Zint is great" DOES generate an inverted PNG, but contrary to the parameter, it also contains the text string.

Further more, I tried this with QRcode, DataMatrix and Aztec. It seems none of them supports a text string in general, but the --reverse option only works together with --notext, otherwise no image is generated...

Could you please file a bug report on sourceforge zint bug tracker.

Thanks, Harald

This issue no longer appears to occur with the latest version on Zint so am closing. If the issue does persist, please open a ticket at https://sourceforge.net/p/zint/tickets/. Thanks for the feedback.
