Crashes when saving QR-code

[Bernard Decock]

QR-code for an URL doesn't pop-up until the pixel-size is being changed.

When saving the code in .png, the program crashes
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/qtqr", line 509, in saveCode
    if not fn.toLower().endsWith(u".png") \
AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'toLower'

Hello,

What Version of QtQR are you using and on what operating system? If you are not using the latest version could you please try with the Daily PPA one?

Thanks,

Hi Ramiro,

I notice a different behaviour between LinuxMint 18.3 Cinnamon and LinuxMint 19.2.

LinuxMint 18.3
Version installed = 1.4~bzr21-1 (xenial)

Hi Ramiro,

I notice a different behaviour between LinuxMint 18.3 Cinnamon and LinuxMint 19.2.

LinuxMint 18.3
Version installed = 1.4~bzr21-1 (xenial)

With the version the saving of the QR-code is ok. However one can't drag a QR-code for decoding:
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py:870: UserWarning: Palette images with Transparency expressed in bytes should be converted to RGBA images
  'to RGBA images')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/qtqr", line 736, in dropEvent
    self.decodeFile(unicode(fn))
  File "/usr/bin/qtqr", line 540, in decodeFile
    if qr.decode():
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/qrtools.py", line 181, in decode
    raw = pil.tostring()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 695, in tostring
    "Please call tobytes() instead.")
Exception: tostring() has been removed. Please call tobytes() instead.

Decoding from a file doesn't work either
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/qtqr", line 540, in decodeFile
    if qr.decode():
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/qrtools.py", line 181, in decode
    raw = pil.tostring()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 695, in tostring
    "Please call tobytes() instead.")
Exception: tostring() has been removed. Please call tobytes() instead.

Linux Mint 19.2 : version installed = 1.4~bzr23-1 (bionic)

Saving the QR-code causes a crash
Decoding from a file does not at all
Decoding from the webcam is ok

Entering an URL gives the effect underneath

Bello Bernard,

I assume you are using the version that’s available in the Mint repos, it happens to be outdated. Please could you try using the Stable or Daily PPAs instead?

Daily PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~qr-tools-developers/+archive/ubuntu/daily

Stable PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~qr-tools-developers/+archive/ubuntu/qr-tools-stable

Please let me know if you still have problems with the latest versions.

Hello Ramiro,

I tested with the stable ppa and everything works fine! Thank you for your advice.

I tested the saving of a QR-code, decoding from a file and decoding from a webcam.

[Ramiro Algozino (algozino)]

Thank you for the feedback, Bernard.

Have a nice day!
Regards,
