The barcode extension no longer appears to be registered correctly, as per the view in the Extensions Manager interface.

Alex: Could you please provide some more info? Link to the plugin, is this plug in included in the LO extension page?

Otherwise this is hard to test / fix.

I guess this:
http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/barcode

That extension looks like still in beta release.

This has now been confirmed by a user on the French users mailing list. Changing status.

The extension is part of the git repo for building LO, using the switch :

--enable-ext-barcode

it can be built, but fails to register correctly as a functioning component.

The fact of the matter is that the extension used to work correctly (as attested by the user on the French mailing list).

LO 3.4 and 3.5 are both outdated versions and that is what this beta of the extension is said to be compatible with.

Since all latest stable LO versions are 4.x this might be "notourbug"? Not sure if it is on LOs part to fix something. If this plugin shows compatibility with LO 4.x and still does not work maybe it should be something that LO needs to fix.

Currently tend to "NOTOURBUG".

Why do we have it in our git tree, if we are not prepared to care for it? It would be better in that case just to remove it and the build switch from our autogen.sh
