Does anyone know how to connect this barcode generation program to AHK via command line?

Barcode := 1234567891234

Run % A_ScriptDir "\barcode_gen.exe " Barcode " --file Barcode.png"


Tested it, it worked, but barcode is unreadable!!!!

... but barcode is unreadable!!!!

Probably the reason why the app's download location contains a string named 'beta', and yes, there's still that PEBCAK option as well!?

If the problem is with the py library, I'ld suggest trying python-barcode: https://pypi.org/project/python-barcode/
I've successfully used to to generate Code 13 and Code 128 barcodes
