Thanks for such a nice product. Does it support Barcode type - Code-128? If yes - Can you please guide me to use it Or Can we add this functionality?

I need this as well. Earlier version used GNU Barcode and supported Zint which has an enormous repertoire of barcodes including Code 128, Code 128 B, and C. Without it I am dead in the water. I will continue to use the previous versions but I like the changes in the new version you have introduced. Why did you switch strategies for barcode rendering?

UPDATE: My fault - I cannot read instructions. Needed the barcode 0.98 version that included the barcode.a lib. All works as it should. The new 3.99 version is excellent and the AppImage works perfectly - supporting Zint and GnuBarcode. Thanks for all your hard work.

Please note, glabels-qt does support Code 128 through the gnu-barcode and zint backends. These are currently built into the appimage linux binary. See https://github.com/jimevins/glabels-qt/blob/master/docs/BUILD-INSTRUCTIONS-LINUX.md on how to build with these backends yourself.
