[Koha] Barcodes...

[Ryan Higgins]

A fifth option for output will be available for the 3.0 release:
csv output.
This will just export the data to a text/csv file which can readily be opened
by a 3rd party label printing application like kbarcode or glabels.
Also, a more generalized data selection is available, wherein you
may specify any MARC field to include in the output instead of being
limited to the eight-or-so predefined selections.  This should be
available very shortly, either in the next beta release or the 3.0 general
release whichever comes first.

Regards,

Ryan
