UPC-5 barcode setting does not work

[linguist2k]

The EAN13 barcode generator does work in v .46. But the UPC-5 barcode generator does NOT work. Entering anything except a 12-digit number gives the following error message:

Can not encode '93495' into EAN13 Barcode, Size must be 12 numbers only
No barcode was generated

That error message was generated when the "Barcode Type" was set to UPC-5 and a 5-digit number was entered into the field. As I understand it, UPC-5 is supposed to accept a 5-digit number and convert it to a barcode. The error message given above suggests the UPC-5 function is expecting a 12-digit EAN13 number. And, in fact, entering a 12-digit number in the field when the "Barcode Type" is set to "UPC-5" does give an EAN13 barcode. Apparently, the UPC-5 setting is not invoking the code for UPC-5.

Also, hitting the "Enter" key on the keyboard does not activate barcode generation. The "Apply" button must be clicked with the mouse to do so.

Thank you!

It looks like a problem with the inx file only.

Removed UPC-5 as the python script does not seem to handle that barcode type, fixed type parameter.

This is should also flow back to 0.46.1, milestoning (or should I nominate for release?).
