Hi gliders!
We have the great Experimental Barcode column. And QR code column either. Great!
Bat when i try to send this to User by Sharing Button or by Email, - there is no picture inside, only codes (seems SVG… XML…).
So how we could send this to another user, for example to print bar-codes?

There is such text inside Barcode Column, for example

It looks as HTML codes, but how we could transform this into a real PICTURE of Barcode?

I think that code can be generated as an image in your app, but deep down it’s still just a code, not an image “at heart”, hence if you want to share that you must find a third party solution that can convert it to an image.
May us know how are you generating that using Experimental Code column? (Code, not Barcode).

Thank you ThinhDinh.
Yes, i am asking is there somebody who knows the ways to convert this into picture. Understand about third party, just asking advice which party could be there?)
There are a few ways to get this Code from Barcode Column as its Content:
- Showing the Barcode Column as a Text Component on a screen
- Sending the Barcode Column by Compose Email with Body = Barcode Column
- Share Link etc.
Did I understand your question correctly? Did I answer it?
