Description ComputerHotline 2021-10-11 13:38:33 UTC 
Suggest :

Replace "QR Code" feature by "Matrix barcode" feature. 
This "Matrix barcode" feature could permit some barcodes (QRcode of course, and Datamatrix, Aztec, PDF417).

Regards.

https://github.com/nu-book/zxing-cpp certainly supports all of the mentioned ones already

Reasonable. While QR Code is ubiquitous and is an incorrect synonym for many 2D barcodes-- other 1D barcode (and supporting fonts) and 2D, aka. "matrix barcode" formats are common. We should support more.

The ZXing-cpp libs look to be the correct licensing to pick up and would expand LO offerings.

The discussion here would be obsolete if it becomes 'Barcode' after 141193 gets implemented. See also bug 141193 comment 5
Comment 4 V Stuart Foote 2021-10-11 18:01:05 UTC 
ZXing libs already picked up, just not exercised for 1D or 2D matrix barcodes other than the QR code.  bug 141193 already open to implement the additional formats.

Question then of what to name it in the UI--as "QR code" would become deficient.
