Package: zbar-tools
Version: 0.10+doc-4
Severity: wishlist
currently, if i run
zbarimg foo.png
it does what i expect.
but if i do:
zbarimg - < foo.png
it fails, saying "ERROR: specify image file(s) to scan"
accepting data on stdin makes it much easier to hook zbarimg together
with other tools in shell pipelines. this would be a nice feature to
have.
Thanks for maintaining zbar in debian,
