Description Gergely HORVÁTH 2023-04-28 10:20:58 UTC

Hi,

I installed Itinerary on an Android/LineagOS phone from FDroid and imported a boarding pass from Ryanair. It has the "vertical" kind of barcode, yet after importing I only see a squeared barcode. I guess it is not a QR code, yet I'm not sure if it will work on the airport. Is it possible to somehow change the barcode type? What is your suggestion?

I just checked, I see the same on desktop, ArchLinux, itinerary version: 23.04.0-1

LineageOS 20
Fdroid
Itinerary 23.04 (2023. 04. 27.)

Thanks for looking into it,
Best regards,
Gergely

We try to preserve the barcode format when that information is available, but e.g. when scanning via the phone camera it's not. In that case you will get the square ("Aztec") format by default. Either way, the content is the same in both cases, the square ones just tends to work better on phones. Airports only care about the content and the usual airport scanners can read all formats, so this shouldn't be a problem.

There is currently no way to manually override the format in the UI.
