Qr code generator plugin - CodeScooper - 01-20-2022
Hello,
I'm new into Gimp but think that i will use it for long time,
pretty exited by extension opportunities
the first thing that i want to do is have an extension that permit to add a Qr code on my pictures
with some option like embed a logo or not,
set the color of the Qr code.
The only way that i have to done it is go on a dedicated website like (https://www.qr-code-generator.com/ )
download the result and then import it into my image.
When i tried to look on internet that's what i found for the moment :
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHXX3KuB23Q ( presentation from Akkana Peck about basis to write a gimp plugin )
- https://www.gimp-forum.net/ (this website but the thread about Qr code dont discuss the possibility to build an embeded one / but very happy to join a community around gimp )
- https://github.com/isman7/gimp-qrcode (this repository on github, i did'nt understand all yet )
If the subject talk to someone i will very happy to exchange about, cause i think that can be useful in the process of making flyers , reciept, branded bag ( like the one i'm working on - see pic )
Have a good day ^^

That is a gimp python plugin, you can download the raw file as gimp_qrcode.py and study the method but right at the top is import qrcode You need the python-qr library for this plugin to work. It might be there in MacOS (I do not know) or you might have to compile it yourself (ask in a MacOS forum).
If you ever move to linux, it looks like this:

A better bet if you want to move away from the on-line generator is the vector application Inkscape. There is a MacOS version.
That will generate a QR code and save as a 'qrcode'.svg file. which you can import into Gimp.
