QR Tools

QR Tools 1.2

New Features
===========

- Added Internationalization Support, i.e. translations. "es_AR", "en_GB" and "es" translations are available.

- GUI redesign:
  + new Faenza styled icon.
  + No more tabs. Now you have to select the data type with a combobox.
  + bigger text boxes for large texts.
  + now the code is displayed at the right side of the window.
  + "About QtQR" dialog with application info (F1).
  + Exit button is gone.
  + Webcam selection dialog if you happen to have more than one with instructions.
  + QtQR now uses system notifications for non-interactive information (like confirming saved files).

- Added support for Drag&Drop:
  + Drop a picture file (or more) to the application window and QtQR will decode them.

- Added comand-line parameters support:
  + pass filenames separated by spaces and QtQR will decode them one by one.

- Added "Edit" functionality:
  + Now when you decode a file or from webcam you can edit the QR Code by pressing the correspondent button.

Bugs Fixed
=========

- https:// is now detected as an url.
- Icon updated to point to the launchpad site.
- Non-ascii characters decoding are now working when launching QtQR from the Gnome Applications Menu.
- if you fill just the email address QtQR will create an email code type instead of an emailmessage one.
- Large QR codes have scroolbars.
- Support for MMS
- Support for geographic information
- Support for contact information (meCard)
- Support for bookmarks

Known Bugs
==========
- ZBar doesn't seem to decode correctly unicode text without the BOM char; and if you add it manually mobile apps won't decode correctly; so we are going with no BOM. Correct decoding in mobile apps is more important. See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qr-tools/+bug/796387
