Editable QR Codes?

[Gibbz]

I notice this old post on the wiki: https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Barcode_Plugin_Development
It would be nice to see editable qr code objects have their own object type (mentioned but not implemented).
I would assume there would still be the option to round the corners of the qr code etc for general styling?

[a.l.e]

yes, that would be possible and welcome.

what we need are "vector" objects.
i would love them for avoiding that svgs "pollute" the colors list... or linking to svg files for updates.

then, it's mostly about creating "views" around them.
i don't think that this will happen before 1.6...

For what it's worth, as a workaround, you could use a render frame and generate the qrcode with LaTeX:
Add

\usepackage{qrcode}

to the Additional Headers input field and use code like this:
 
\qrcode{http://goo.gl/0bis}
\qrcode[level=M,height=3cm]{http://goo.gl/0bis}

to generate your QR codes. That way, you can edit the source/settings later on. You have to enter the size of your QR code, though, as it seems not to be possible to scale the content of the render frame.
