Binary/independent mode

[eoreshnikov]

Problem:
Given: a barcode contains binary data.
After reading the code, the data is incorrectly converted into a string for "card id"
Based on the string, a new barcode is recreated, which contains incorrect data.

For example, the Electronic Compulsory Health Insurance Policy of the Russian Federation is in PDF417 format and contains binary data.

Suggested solution:
Add an option, when selected, the barcode is stored as it was scanned (or the photo is simply set), and the “card id” field must be specified manually by the user.

The "card id" field shouldn't show anything except the value.

Is this a duplicate of #1496?

This is a related and similar problem.
But #1496 suggests updating the ZXing library.

I believe that the problem can be solved differently.

Current chain: Source barcode -> Scanning -> Receiving binary array -> Converting binary array to string to display card-id (this is where data corruption occurs) -> creating a new barcode to display.
As a result, the original barcode does not match the new one.

For example (russian) , the binary array in a barcode consists of:

code_type + card_id + First name, Last name (in non-standard 6-bit encoding) + others.

It will not be possible to display this in the card-id field.

BUT! You can allow the user to simply write the card number in the card-id field, and use a photo of the original barcode instead of the barcode.

Do you have an example barcode/qr code and card-id value this happens to?

You could set the barcode type to none and use an image as front photo but of course it'd be much better if this was fixed.

My barcode contains personal information and therefore I do not want to publish it here. I also can’t generate test code, since it’s not the simplest algorithm.
