[Koha] Barcodes...

[Huck]

how about user defined code in CSV format?

i.e.  the actual barcode #, and text to be read below it...

in this specific situation the librarian(a volunteer) buys books from 
where-ever...she already has barcodes numbered up to 27000, and would 
like to continue from 27001 - ABCDE...

I don't believe she uses the 'acquisitions' section of Koha when she 
buys new books as she gets them wherever she can.

So, it would be great if I could specify the code-29(IRCC) starting at 
27001 up to say 33000, with the name of the school printed under the 
barcode as is her current format.

I tried kbarcode yesterday, but to no avail.
