We rolled out a new version of Barcode Creator over the weekend. We added support for another symbology bringing the total to 19, and we added one improvement to the QR Code generation. This upgrade is free for all owners of Barcode Creator. You can download it from your account at Geist Interactive

New Symbology

Added the “GS1 DataBar Expanded” symbology. This is the same as DataBar Expanded, but with strict GS1 validation. (DataBar Expanded behaves the same: it will still encode data as GS1 if the input follows GS1 formatting rules, but will also tolerate non-GS1 data, as before.)

Improvements

Improved QR Code compatibility with scanners that do not use the default configuration from the QR Code 2005 specification (including FileMaker Go).

Upgrading

It is always best to start over. Delete the old Barcode Creator module folder and copy and paste or import the new one into your file. Then reconnect your scripts.
