There are a couple, but they are all third party add ons.

The FLOSS ones were designed for Linux.
The commercial ones are either Windows only, or cross platform.

[dev] datamatrix 2d barcodes for Calc

[Alessandro Zummo]

 Hello,

   I'm planning to write a plugin for Calc to draw
  DataMatrix 2D barcodes.

   I'm new in writing plugins, so I would like
 to ask if someone can help in dealing with the
 interfacing with OO while I can write the barcode
 handling code.

   If things goes well, support for other
 1D and 2D barcode symbologies will be added.

RE: [dev] File | Open default file type

[Allen Pulsifer]

Hello Mathias,

There may be a misunderstanding about the suggestion.

If you do a File | Open in OOo, the File Type displayed by default is "All
files (*.*)".  You can manually select "Text documents", "Spreadsheets",
"Presentations", etc., or you can select a specific file extension, such as
"OpenDocument Text (*.odt)".

The suggestion is not to list all file extensions supported by OOo.  The
suggestion is to add another type grouping, "All Documents", that would be
similar to "Text documents", "Spreadsheets", "Presentations", etc.  When
selected, this would cause the File chooser dialog to display all document
types supported by OOo, i.e., it would display Text documents + Spreadsheets
+ Presentations +   In that way, it would be similar to All Files,
except it would not display files with extensions OOo cannot open, such as
.pdf.

Does that make sense?

Allen

For me the biggest problem with this approach is that OOo supports quite
a lot of file types with a lot of different extensions. It can be
confusing to show "*.*" (you can't show all supported extensions here)
but display only some of the files.

Perhaps the problem can be solved by providing a better error message.
Something like "OOo does not support this file type. Please try to open
the file from your desktop" or something else.

Ciao,
Mathias

As I assume that you are aming for a localization I would like to
redirect you to our Native Language Project. Please send your mail to
dev@native-lang.openoffice.org and you will get all the support you
need. Someone wrote there in September last year that Urdu localization
is mostly done. He pointed to

It is only built with the right options set.

That's why I need to do the following in debian/rules for the official
Debian package (we base on -debian-menus' contents)

# DPKG is only set on with-EPM build what we don't do and the menu 
stuff# is only built wenn DPKG is set.. Same with PKGFORMAT.
cd $(SOURCE_TREE)/sysui; \
. $(CURDIR)/$(SOURCE_TREE)/*.sh; \
PATH=$(BUILD_PATH) DPKG="dpkg" PKGFORMAT="deb" 
NO_PKG_MANGLE=go-away \
../solenv/bin/build.pl && ../solenv/bin/deliver.pl

Unless you build on Debian (and build with EPM) DPKG is not set and
PKGFORMAT does most probably not contain deb either. Set them and it should
work when you run "build" in sysui.

[ NO_PKG_MANGLE is not relevant here ]
