glabels: Ready For Prime Time

Posted by timothy on from the small-business dept.

Joe Barr writes "NewsForge is running a review of glabels. It's still in beta status, but it's ready for prime time now. It knows hundreds of predefined label formats and allows you to design your own templates for custom work. Barcodes, images, just about anything but MP3 tracks can be printed on them. glabels is destined to become one of the most popular native apps for Linux." If you need harder-core barcode support, the excellent kbarcode would probably make a good complement. (NewsForge and Slashdot are both part of OSDN.)

    no where in this article does it mention what the FUCK glables is for! it mentions you can design your own templates and put mp3's on them (what ever for? who the fuck knows and if they are not going to tell me the i don't fucking care) and it is destined to be a most popular app that no one knows what the fuck it does or why it exsits. damn you writers are stupid and should be the first up against the wall when the revolution comes

    wouldnt it make more sense to package a label printing facility as part of Open Office as apposed to a standalone application ? great idea that *nix has this now but these sorts of things have been standard in MSWord for a long time, do i really need to open a specific application (and all the hassle of saving/re-opening) just to print a label or envelope ?

    > I don't think it does those 3D labels that shippers use though.

    3D labels??? Utter craziness! I think you mean 2D, as while they technically ARE 3D, the 3rd dimension is only about 1/3 of one millimeter and not measured by the reader (ie, the paper thickness).
