Hi All, We have just made a new build available of a 2.5.0 beta live - version 2.5.0.2463 - This was created to address improve the new features announced in this post.

We have added a new UI for the QR code tool in 2.5.0.2437, and changed the way you add data into it. When you click on "Data" field on the context toolbar you will see a new popup dialog which has a few presets for common schemes. If you want to use a URI scheme that's not in the list, you would have to use the "Text" preset. We have also added form validation. If you see a warning icon, hover over it and it will tell you what's expected to be in that field.
