Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2026-06-05 15:13:01 UTC
DESCRIPTION
When taking a region screenshot and then clicking "Annotate", the QR code scanner should run and detect a barcode.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Take a region screenshot of something containing a barcode (Meta+Shift+PtrScr)
2. Click "Annotate" in the resulting save notification

OBSERVED RESULT
Spectacle opens but does not notify of a QR code

EXPECTED RESULT
Spectacle opens and tells me that there is a QR code

This sounds more like a feature request, changing to wishlist. I don't know that this is an implemented thing.
