Feature Request: Extend to other QR-Codes/ASN possible

[andbez]

Hi,
just migrating from paperless-ngx to Docspell. I am missing just one feature: Set ASN from QR-Code on Document. Any chance to extend this Add-On "easiely"?
Thank you.

Best

I'm not sure what you mean exactly: setting a custom field from some information in the QR code? This would be possible, it is necessary to know how to obtain that information, though.

It seems to be common ( for me ;-)) that Paper-Documents, which are not put to bin, get an ASN (e.g. a counting numeric value). This ASN could be written, stamped or put a QR-Code-Sticker on to the Paper-Document before Scanning. An Example for QR-Codes are available on https://tobiasmaier.info/asn-qr-code-label-generator/. If Docspell/this Add-on could read the ASN-QR-Code from the scanned PDF and put the Value into a specific field would be very helpful.

Ah, I see, thanks. Sure, that makes sense. I'm currently not so sure if that fits into this addon. perhaps a new one would be good

Is this the correct file, where you analyze if it's a SwissQR-Code? modules/core/src/main/scala/docspell/swissqr/QrTextReader.scala. So I would expect to change this to the "ASN"-Text-Return and then put the information in the correct Metadata. I am not familiar with Scala.

Yes, this is the file.

Addons don't need to be in Scala, it can be in any language. There are some docs about it here. So if you like you can create an addon in whatever language you are more familiar with.
