uk.org.zint.zint-qt
The Zint project aims to provide a complete barcode generating solution. It is hoped that Zint provides a solution which is flexible enough for professional users while at the same time takes care of as much of the processing as possible to allow easy translation from input data to barcode image.
Zint is currently able to encode data in over 50 barcode symbologies (types of barcode), for each of which it is possible to translate that data from either Unicode (UTF-8) or a raw 8-bit data stream. The image can be rendered as either a Portable Network Graphic (PNG) image, Windows Bitmap (BMP), Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), ZSoft Paintbrush image (PCX), as Encapsulated Post Script (EPS) or as a Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG). Many options are available for setting the characteristics of the output image including the size and colour of the image, the amount of error correction used in the symbol and, in the case of raster images, the orientation of the image.

Version 2.10.0 runs OK on Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon. It stopped working early in the new year of 2023. I reinstalled NVidia GeForce Driver. Uninstalled Chrome Remote Desktop. Reinstalled Zint. So back in business but I have not determined whether it was Nvidia driver or Uninstalling Chrome Remote Desktop that fixed the problem. I have 1 suggestion. It would be a vast improvement if Barcodes inserted as formatted numbers could simply strip the formatting and use the remaining digits instead of erroring. e.g. entering an ISBN as 978-0-7847-1784-4 or 978 0 7847 1784 4 should not be treated as an error.
It does not run on Mint 20 as rodwgs says. Trying to run it from Terminal produces: - /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=zint-qt uk.org.zint.zint-qt
Doesn't run on a Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon VM running under Parallels on an iMac. First, the desktop icon gives the command as "zint-qt uk.org.zint.zint-qt" Yet that doesn't seem to be a valid flatpak command? Directly typing "flatpak run uk.org.zint.zint-qt" results in "qt.pqa.xcb: could not connect to display," "qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found" and "This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized."
