Summary0011020: Barcode generator creates RGB elements
DescriptionThe barcode generator's output is in RGB colors. This causes problems with printing presses.

By default it should generate barcodes in CMYK black, just like plain text.
Steps To ReproduceCreate barcode. Inspect colors. They are in RGB (and will remain so, even when exported with color profiling on).
Additional InformationEasy fix is to delete the colors fromeps000 and replace it with black and fromepsffffff and replace it with white.
TagsNo tags attached.

The Barcode Writer in Pure PostScript library also supports CMYK colours using options such as textcolor=CCMMYYKK barcolour=CCMMYYKK backgroundcolor=CCMMYYKK. It should be easy for Scribus to provide either RGB or CMYK input to BWIPP.

In 1.5.0svn it works as expected. The barcode plug-in was changed to the new paintmanager. Selected RGB or CMKY colors are correctly used.
