Hi @JackThePug,

Unfortunately the binary mode is only supported in zbar >= 0.23.1. You can check your version with running zbarimg --version. Anything below 0.23.1 would not work. So it may take a while for all distros and package managers to update to the latest version of zbar.

For example I'm using arch and the zbar version that I've installed from arch repository is 0.23.1.

But fear not! You have two options.

Option 1: Easy Fix (Use with Docker)

Just use docker. There is complete instruction on how to use paperify with docker in the README.md file. If you do not have docker installed please visit docs.docker.com/get-docker/

You can mount your files at /target in paperify's docker container. Then run paperify.

For simplicity, You can just copy the bellow commands which will mount your current directory automatically.

# To Paperify
# FIRST: cd into the folder that your file is in
docker run -v$(pwd):/target alisinabh/paperify FILE

# To Digitallify
# First cd into the folder that your scanned images are in
docker run -v$(pwd):/target --entrypoint=/paperify/digitallify.sh alisinabh/paperify OUTPUT_FILE .

Option 2: The hard way (Compiling zbar)

You can compile latest version of zbar yourself from this repository: github.com/mchehab/zbar

Thank you for reporting this.
