Would love to be able to use a bar code reader to scan the UPC labels on the DVD instead of typing in each number. This could speed up the input process for those of us that have very large collections. Any chance of this happening?

Happened quite some time ago. Although not well advertised, bar code readers are already a supported feature.

Don't understand? Maybe DVDProfilerWiki.org does!

I've been using a barcode scanner with dvdprofiler for at least 6 years. dvdprofiler supported it as from version 2 via some plugin.

Now as most are recognised by windows anyway, dvdprofiler I thknk only does cuecats internally.

If you can read a barcode into notepad, you can in dvdprofiler.

Note on the CueCat - DVDP handles unmodified CueCats internally.  The neutered CueCats also work but require no special processing.

Since the ability to use bar code scanners has been part of Profiler for years, what do you hope to accomplish with this poll?

I was wondering the same thing Ken, it dates back at least 7 years that I know of. But what can I tell. God forbid I should nibble on the toes of a newbie to enjoy a newbie snack.

Bad Idea already have enough wires running all over the place.   Besides my dog can't tell the difference between cue cats and real cats  

Oh wait, that not what I meant to say, this would be a wonderful idea.

For most scanners, you just open the "Add by UPC" dialog and scan right into the UPC field.

Aye as most scanners work by emulating a keyboards input

I was using a neutered cue-cat for about 3 years, but recently bought a cheap (£18/$35) "Acan"/"Ascan" reader from Ebay as I got fed up of the limitations of the cuecat (having to swipe it, sometimes 3-4 times to get a reading, especially on smaller barcodes).
