As Scott Daniels mentioned, the Patron Card Creator tool in 3.0.x is
unfinished and will most likely stay that way. That tool, along with the
Label Creator tool, was totally re-written for 3.2 and the changes will not
backport easily.

The "hack" Scott suggests will get you somewhat closer to what you are
looking for. However, i would suggest either waiting for 3.2 stable, or
setup a sandbox with 3.2, move over a copy of your current Koha db, and use
the Patron Card Creator there.

While kbarcode no doubt works fine for grabbing text data from Koha's db and
creating cards, the Patron Card Creator currently allows for up to two
graphic images to be placed on the card, including the patron's photo, etc.

Kind Regards,
Chris
