SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Copy some text 2. Open klipper 3. Show barcode OBSERVED RESULT No way to print the qr code or save it as an image EXPECTED RESULT It would be great if there was an option to save the qrcode as png and to print it right away. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.1 KDE Frameworks 5.59.0 Qt 5.12.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
You can take a screenshot of it and then print that. What's the use case for printing the QR code directly from the applet?

Yes you can make a screenshot, crop the image and then save or print it. But this is not a user friendly process. First you have to think about taking a screenshot, this is probably not obvious to most people. Then you need to modify the image or set the correct rectangle for the screenshot. Which is time consuming and again might be a hurdle for a lot of people. A save / print button in klipper would be a one click solution for the whole process.
Got it.
Allowing to copy the image by right-clicking the image without the need to modify the UI could be enough. Very useful when you are preparing banners or posters

Oh hey, yeah, by making the QR code draggable, you can now turn it into a file which can be printed, so this has effectively been implemented. Thanks for following up!
Hi! I was about to create a new feature request and stumbled upon this one. Being able to drag is already very nice and noticed one could do this by myself, but it's not quite discoverable and you need to know where to drag, and dragging might not be so easy. I have the feeling many people still just search for a web service to generate a QR Code, when we have a perfectly fine and local one at hands. It's also still way quicker to just search "qr <text>" in duck duck go, and right click on the result. Which is a shame. What about adding a small copy and a small save button on top of the QR Code in the clipboard and the wifi applets, and/or a context menu with these options?
