Cheap, nasty tool to put clipboard or stdin into a barcode (so you can copy to a smartphone)
I really just developed this for myself. You're welcome to debug it, package it, redistribute it, refactor it...
-You could re-jig the whole thing to use [prison](https://github.com/KDE/prison) instead of wastefully spawning extra processes.
+You'll find that if you try to encode a whole book into it, it segfaults... I'll look into that later...
+I've linked against libqrencode and libdmtx but I also _completely absorbed_ the files from the excellent project `qqrencode` into the structure so that they just got built in... To simplify installation. It is also released under an MIT licence, woo!
I've included a couple of screenshots at the end of the readme.
-But for what I wanted, it works.

Example setup for klipper:
* Right-click on klipper in your system tray
* Select "Configure" from the context menu
* In the "Actions" tab, under "Action List", add a new action.
* For the regular expression, enter `.*` to capture everything.
* For description, write "Show Barcode" (or whatever you want)
* Add a command. In the command entry field, write `echo "%s"|barcoder` (where "barcoder" is the path to your barcoder executable)
Now, any time that you want klipper to generate a barcode like it used to in the good old days (a couple years ago):
* Left-click klipper in your system tray
* hover over the clip you want to share
* Press the little square icon which is supposed to represent clipboard actions
* Click "Show Barcode" (this is your description from earlier)
* Open your phone's barcode scanner and point it at the barcode
* voila, depending on your phone's setup, you now have the text info on your phone ready to paste where you want
