Macro changes position, size and the property URL/Text of the QR-Code

Hello,
I have a problem with generating or editing a QR-Code using a macro.

It may be that my macro is faulty or it is a bug in LibreOffice.
A more detailed description including the macro can be found in the attachment.

The only place generating the SVG of the QR code is currently the QR code dialog (see QrCodeGenDialog::GenerateQRCode, which contains the only call to qrcodegen::QrCode::encodeText). So it's currently impossible to work with QR codes in any automated way.

IMHO a change to the QRCodeProperties should update the SVG.

Hello Jan-Marek,

it was a great idea to integrate the QR code generator into LibreOffice, I am sad that it is not possible to control it via a macro.

Is it planned in the future via macro on the QR
Access code generator.

> IMHO a change to the QRCodeProperties should update the SVG.

I've applied this Struct QRCodeProperties in my macro.

When I read out the "Payload" property with MRI / XRAY, the "Payload property" changed by the macro is available, but this does not lead to an SVG update.
The changed property is also displayed in the context menu, but no SVG update takes place

I have described this in my attachment.

Best Regards

Juergen
