Any qrcode scanning app can be used then. Several qrcodes can be chained and the output is appended to the same post on the web service. And this is documented in the post about qrencode: https://www.haiku- os.org/blog/mmlr/2012-07-01_qr_encode_your_kdl_output > > I understand the process, and that's exactly what I mean. It is not very convenient. The process of taking pictures, connecting the phone to the computer, and adding the pictures to the ticket isn't that complicated and nowadays one cannot complain about the quality of pictures taken by the phone cameras. So for the QR thing to become really usable it would have to be a lot more convenient. I was thinking of an app that captures a complete KDL session (codes could be shown in intervals of a few seconds) and optionally adds it to a ticket directly. Unfortunately it is also quite a bit of work and I don't think the time would be particularly well invested. Time invested in implementing KDL debugging via USB or ethernet OTOH would be, though. There is also the possability of of using an audio-modem if the midi kit or media kit is available. https://github.com/romanz/amodem & http://chirp.io The other option is to use blinking CMYK, CcMmYK or greyscale barcodes and have the user capture that on their cellphone as a video and get them to decode the it to text. There are iOS and Andriod apps that decode morse code sent via lamp singals/heliographs in real time and an open source project to decode morse code from video. So it a possability, but obviously a pretty low priority. Also those blinkin' bebox lights might be a good idea for a comeback: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_Wireless_Communications http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li-Fi -- Ticket URL: <https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/11351#comment:7> Haiku <https://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
