Bug Description
Linux Mint 19.3 (Ubuntu 18.04)
QtQR 1.4~bzr23-1
QtQR can create several types of QR codes. Text is the default type, it works. The second type in the list is URL, I assume it is the second most useful type of QR code but it doesn't work. Whatever I type in the field "URL to be encoded", no QR code is generated. This must be a bug, I assume a simple one to fix...
I tried other types of QR codes and it seems that the only URL type is broken. I have not tested if generated QR codes are correct...
Steps to replicate:
1) start QtQR application
2) in the field "Select data type", select from pull down list "URL"
3) type some url to the field "URL to be encoded"
4) with every change of URL new QR code should be generated on the right. But that field is empty or it has QR code generated in the past. This is a BUG!
5) Try the same with "Text" type QR, this is what is expected...
Hello!
Thank you for your report, sadly you are on a very old version of QtQR, I'd recommend you to switch to the Daily PPA version if you can. I don't know if it will be supported by your base OS though.
Best regards,
