QR Code Generator Application

[kevdog]

Does anyone know of a QR Code Generator Application available for linux/windows? I see many on-line websites but would like an installable application.

(yes old, few months in fact, i know)

heres one
clicky (http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.psytec.co.jp%2Fdocomo .html&sl=ja&tl=en&hl=&ie=UTF-8)

its for windows and needs something for Japanese characters, play around a bit and you can figure out what stuff does(the computer screen button can scan qr code that are currently on your screen)

There used to be a firefox add-on that I used for a while, but it's not been updated and doesn't work with the 3.x branch.

Here's a lot of options for you: http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/126948

I'll figure it out, but haven't you something in german, russian or egnlish?

I think the package "qrencode" would fit the bill. It's command-line only, but it's simple.

mix it with zenity and you have a gui.

Hate to bring back a dead thread, but I was looking for the same thing.
Read the thread, and this is what I came up with.
It's a quick, dirty, hammered out script, but it works for me.


#!/bin/bash

me=`whoami`
outpath=`zenity --entry --title="Save path?" --text="What folder would you like to save the QR image to? Default of /home/$me/Pictures will be used if one is not entered."`
button0=$?
if [ $button0 -eq 0 ];then
if [ -z $outpath ];then
outpath=/home/`whoami`/Pictures
fi
pname=`zenity --entry --title="What filename?" --text="What name should be used for the output? ex: filename > filename.png"`
button1=$?
if [ $button1 -eq 0 ];then
if [ -z $pname ];then
zenity --info --title="Failure" --text="You failed to enter a filename. Exiting."
else
content=`zenity --entry --title="Content --" --text="What do you want your QR code to say?"`
button2=$?
if [ $button2 -eq 0 ];then
if [ -z $content ];then
zenity --info --title="Failure" --text="You failed to enter any content. Exiting."
else
qrencode -o "$outpath"/"$pname".png "$content"
zenity --info --title="Finished --" --text="Your QR code is located at : $outpath/$pname.png"
fi
else
zenity --info --title="Canceled" --text="QR code generation canceled - content"
fi
fi
else
zenity --info --title="Canceled" --text="QR code generation canceled - filename"
fi
else
zenity --info --title="Canceled" --text="QR code generation canceled - file path"
fi


I know theres no comments... Like I said, quick and dirty.

Hey thanks for this script -- it looks good.

[nailora]

attached is a program that can generate qr-codes as you type.
it works completely offline.

you need to have "python-qrencode" installed. either install it using apt-get/synaptic (but it is only in debian, not in ubuntu) or use the the attached packages (works for lucid) or build it from source (works for jaunty, karmic).

ps: feedback is welcome, see mail addresses in source code or post here.
code can be cloned via git clone git://devzero.de/cutercode

@admins:
Sorry for up some old thread, but I really need to thank for this great app nailora creates.

@nailora:
THX!!! This app you make is so simple, but so effective that now I even don't need use wine to run windows QRcode generators anymore. *__*

Your software is great. Exactly what I was looking for. And I was surprised that I didn't found any similar software at Ubuntu repositories.

By the way, KDE 4.7.1 haves this feature built in through Klipper.

As there still seems to be some interest in cutercode, I decided to upload the code to github for greater ease of use:

Ill take a look at this later. Thanks
