I have an assortment of images I would like to apply based on a barcode associated with each image. I want to be able to scan a barcode and have lightburn load the cut job associated with that code. Is there a way to do this through lightburn and/or a secondary program?
I can think of two ways to do it:
- You could save the file with your image and name it the value of the barcode. Then from your operating system’s file browser, you open the folder containing your images and scan the code. At least in Linux, as you type, it filters the contents of the folder without having to press “search”, and you configure the barcode reader so that at the end you enter the “enter” key, in this way it will open the file you is called that way.
- The second option is to save your images in the LightBurn library by putting the barcode somewhere in the name. In this case, it will filter the images and you just have to drag them to the work area.
I hope it helps
P.S. I am using a translator

I don’t know of anything within Lightburn that will do this directly.
However, there a minimal command line interface. You’d likely have to have some external software collect the code, associate it with the proper file and then either create a script you can execute or pass the arguments to get the file loaded and executed.
Good luck

I’m not versed in programming myself, but a friend was able to tweak this to make it work as I intended. Thanks for the help!
