[Alexandria-list] CueCat and the Acquire from Scanner dialog

[Cathal Mc Ginley]

Hi.

I'm new to the list, but I've been interested in Alexandria for a while.
I recently hacked up some initial support for CueCat ISBN barcode
scanning in the acquire_dialog; barcodes are accepted and added to the
TreeView. I'd like to proceed to do online provider lookups and image
download, and adding the results to the selected library and all that,
but I think the majority of the code for that is in the new_book_dialog.
Before I mess up my code too much, what's the plan for refactoring out
that functionality? (I've seen on the list archive that some further
separation of core and user-interface code is planned.)

A quick chat with a developer should be all I need to proceed. Perhaps
over IRC? (I'm on Irish time, but late nights are the norm for me anyway.)

By the way, I have a USB CueCat and it works perfectly with the
one-at-a-time new_book_dialog with the current SVN Alexandria.

Thanks,

   -   Cathal.
