SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Keysmith
2. Click the 3 points top right
3. Click on Scan QR Code
4. Content of Keysmith stays white instead of the picture of my webcam which I can use to scan a QR Code.
5. If access to webcam is not possible up to now, at least it should be possible to import a picture by clipboard or importing a PDF or PNG file.

The problem does not come from my webcam. When I open another program that can take access to the webcam like Cheese, Zoom or QTQR, it works. And on the camera the light for is in use is off. At the other programs it is on. Of course tested not at the same time.
