SUMMARY Klipper (the KDE clipboard manager) has a very nice feature that enables users to generate QR codes. Unfortunately, they are transient: they can be displayed and immediately scanned by users, but it would be really helpful to also be able to save them or at least copy them to clipboard, for example if I want to print a WiFi password for my guests to scan, or when preparing printing materials and wanting to include a scanable code with arbitrary data. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Copy a link, a WiFi password, or another arbitrary string 2. Open Clipboard widget 3. Press "Show QR Code" OBSERVED RESULT One is able to use the code, but not export it in any way. EXPECTED RESULT One is able to also export the code. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0 Qt Version: 6.7.3 Kernel Version: 6.11.1-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-1240P Memory: 15.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Graphics ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Was directed to post here from https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/issues/139#note_1045393
I can definitely see use cases for being able to copy / export the generated QR Code
Interestingly, there is already code for drag and drop behavior on barcode: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/klipper/declarative/qml/BarcodePage.qml#L117 And you can *try* to drag and drop barcodes, but it does nothing currently.
+1 for this feature :) In spectacle you can copy and paste the screenshot. Same should apply to qrgen in klipper. Drag-n-Drop would also be nice. cheers
