Application ideas

@Herzenschein, not integrating with a scanner is a pain if you have a few hundred books to file. I’ve been looking for the same kind of application that @Pacifist3 is, and didn’t settle on Tellico for the that reason. It’s also a shame that it’s solely for non-mobile OSes, since I’m more likely to want to file a book with my smartphone when I find it, instead of going to my PC.

Did you manage it? If so, how? I’ve got some Middle English (Germanesque) books from a few hundred years ago, and I have no idea where to start.

I thought Tellico did integrate with a scanner, I just personally don’t have one. :slight_smile:

Now that I investigated I’m not so sure anymore. It does mention barcode scanners in https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/tellico/tellico/tellico.pdf#section.4.1, there’s source code just for barcode scanning, and there’s this setting:

I don’t have a barcode scanner to confirm whether it works only with webcams or if it also works with actual barcode scanners.

Adding manually.

@Herzenschein, thanks!

I’ll check it out! Thank you for the info.

Edit: Just wanted to say this app is pretty nice. I haven’t figured out the webcam thing yet, but the app seems like a serviceable replacement for Libib. I wish their was some sort of Android app integration, but I can live without it I guess.

I’ve added the existing app ideas from the wiki to the issue tracker and removed the contents from the wiki. It will eventually just point to the issue tracker instead.

Use only Issues · Teams / KDE Apps Initiative / Tasks · GitLab from now on.
