I did read about it, i.e, the "Export Server" function (which is locked in the demo-version I downloaded). Here is a copy-paste from the "Inventory Scanner" support-forum: ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Export with export server [JPEG: iPhone view] Please follow these steps: 1. Go to the "Export Data" section and turn on the export server 2. Open a browser on your computer and type the URL that is shown in the app 3. Afterwards, the download website is shown to you with all links to your data. Click the links to download your data. [JPEG: Browser view] http://actsw.zendesk.com/entries/20761108-export-data ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Steps 2 & 3, read carefully, clearly state "Export Server" does NOT DIRECTLY send data from the iPhone to the desktop. And by "direct", most people would understand something like how a USB QR Code reader connected to the desktop sends data to an open application. Instead, the "Export Server" function requires the INTERMEDIARY steps of, on the desktop, (1) accessing an url thru a browser, and (2) starting a data download (XML or text, according to the JPEG browser-view). Now, if written somewhere there's something stating differently, or if someone has actually used Inventory Scanner's "Export Server" function to scan a QR Code DIRECTLY into a desktop application -- like a physical USB QR Code reader or the same direct and simple way John Craig kindly explained earlier in this thread -- then, I may be tempted to push "Buy". Cheers. -- Nicolas Cueto _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
