Thanks for the link, @Hangman. Very informative, but they got this bit back to front:

Quote

Scanning Distance

The first and most important factor in determining the size of a QR code is the distance from which it will be scanned. The larger the scanning distance, the bigger the QR code should be.

There is a standard rule for choosing the right size for a QR code. According to the rule, the ratio of the scanning distance to the size of the QR Code should be at least 10:1. In other words; the ideal QR code minimum size is equal to the scanning distance divided by 10.

For example, if the expected scanning distance is 50 inches (127 cm), then the ideal QR code size should be at least 5 inches by 5 inches (12.7 cm by 12.7 cm) or 480 pixels, excluding the quiet zone.

The ratio of the scanning distance to the size of the QR code should be at most 10:1. If it were at least 10:1, then 12:1 would be acceptable and therefore a 5-inch QR code would be suitable for an expected scanning distance of 60 inches.

I believe what they are saying is that the 10:1 ratio is a 'fixed' or 'optimal' value that shouldn't be exceeded, i.e., if you were 60 inches away your QR Code should be 6 inches, otherwise you could apply the math to say:

  • With a 20:1 ratio if you were 100 inches away your QR Code could still be 5 inches or
  • With a 12,672:1 ratio if you were 1 mile away your QR Code could still be 5 inches

Which clearly makes no sense...

Yes, “shouldn’t be exceeded” (or in other words “at most”) is clearly what they meant to say, but they said the opposite!

I think they've qualified it pretty clearly by saying...

"The ideal QR code minimum size is equal to the scanning distance divided by 10"

and by citing an example...

"For example, if the expected scanning distance is 50 inches (127 cm), then the ideal QR code size should be at least 5 inches by 5 inches (12.7 cm by 12.7 cm) or 480 pixels, excluding the quiet zone."

I'm pretty sure most people will understand this in the way it is intended and if in doubt refer to other articles for clarification...

May not contain semicolons? Or should not contain semicolons?

The validation seems to be not too strict in 2437.

As far as I'm aware, semi colons are an acceptable as part of a Street Address so I'm unsure why that tooltip is being displayed...

What is the field Notes for? Personal notes that nowhere appear or should they appear, when the vcard is added to contacts? They do not appear in the contacts, at least on my Android phone.

QR Code Text Entry Field Issues/Differences

  • On Mac the text entry field is non-scrollable using a Magic Mouse, on Windows it is scrollable albeit (as previously mentioned) there is no scrollbar on Mac or Windows
     
  • On Mac text in the text entry field is ranged left, on Windows it is justified
     
  • There is a visual difference between the Mac and Windows QR Code Data Field in the context toolbar, on Mac, it appears with a black background and on Windows with a light grey background
     
  • On Mac hovering over the QR Code Data field in the context toolbar, the tooltip shows 'The data contained in the QR Code', on Windows the tooltip shows the entire content of the Text field
     
  • It would be extremely helpful if this particular preset was expandable vertically on both Mac and Windows

Notes appear automatically as part of on an iPhone Contact and are part of the vCard spec. On Android, depending on your phone, I believe you have to add Notes manually by clicking the Info ('i' in a circle) in Contacts, then the Pencil (Edit) icon followed by 'View More', then scroll down to Notes, add a note then click 'Save'.

I'm assuming, based on your post that a Note included as part of a vCard isn't being added automatically on Android, is that the case?

If you click 'Edit' in Contacts then click 'View More' and scroll down to 'Notes' is the 'Note' field empty after scanning the VR Code and physically adding it as a New Contact to your phone? If it is then I think this may be a limitation with Android but perhaps others can comment...

Yes, the field stays empty after adding a new contact.

Edit: Maybe it is my phone. Other generators do not work too with notes.

Thanks for confirming... in which case I think it is most likely an Android limitation when using vCard...

Do you have the same issue when using the MECARD format, e.g., if you copy and paste this into the QR Code Text preset, I'm assuming you still don't see the Note...

If you manually add a Note to either a New or Existing contact on your phone and then export the contact as a .vcf file and open it in a Notes or Text Edit app, is the Note exported as part of the .vcf file?

I see the note when I scan a QR code (made in 2.5.0.2437, Windows) with vCard info. I'm on a Google Pixel 7, using its Contacts feature (also Google-based).

Just playing around with 2.5.0.2437 on Windows, and the vCard format, and I have a few comments:

  1. (For all QR formats) The fill initializes as a shade of light gray (RGB 235/235/235) rather than the more useful (in my opinion) Black, and must always be changed.
  2. When tabbing from field to field for the vCard, the next field is selected (blue highlight box) but the contents are not highlighted(background is black, not white). When I start typing, the contents of the field are highlighted, and any prior content is replaced. Thus, it seems the prior content is selected, even though neither the field nor that content are selected.
  3. This might be correct, and a limitation of the Google Contacts app on Android, but when I have a multi-line Notes field in the vCard, the Notes are shown in the Contact as first line\nsecond line\n rather than as two lines.
  4. When editing QR Code Defaults (clicking on the Data box in the Context Toolbar with no QR Code object selected, the vCard defaults cannot be changed back to all empty as they were initially. The First Name field must at least contain a blank.

For the record, the Note field has always had a "special treatment" on Mac in the Address Book/Contacts app:

  • you can choose in Preferences whether the field should be exported to VCF or not
  • you can edit it without being in Edit mode

This is because these are the default values for Fill and Stoke in the Affinity apps... If you Change and Save the default values to give you a 0, 0, 0 Fill then creating QR Codes will default to Black.

This looks like a Windows issue since tabbing between fields on macOS correctly highlights the text in the respective field.

I had no problem doing this on Windows, simply tabbing between fields and deleting everything gives me an empty preset and shows Data: [vCard] in the context toolbar but yes, on Mac you can't do this for the reasons cited...

There has been a request for a Reset button to be added to clear all fields which I think would be very helpful...

But that sets the default fill for all objects. Perhaps I want most objects to be gray by default, but QR Codes to be black (as they commonly are).

It's not set, and I wouldn't expect it to be relevant to what I was doing, as I wasn't copying anything.

It didn't work for me on Windows. With nothing in First or Last Name fields, there were error triangles and OK was grayed-out, preventing me from saving the QR Code default.

The QR Code is simply adopting the default colour of all other Shapes... so one way or another you would need to adjust the colour of your respective objects whether black or grey...

I think the closest we have right now is to use the 'Set Fill to Black and White', the 'Switch Line and Fill' and the 'Set Fill to 50% Grey' shortcuts options under the Miscellaneous section though I do get what you're saying, i.e., it would be far more practical for QR Codes to default to a Black Fill rather than the default app fill...

I was working under the (incorrect) assumption you may be copying and pasting text from an Affinity app where you would need the option disabled...

For me on Windows, with the QR Code tool selected but no actual QR Code selected I have no validation in the QR Code preset dialog window so I can happily delete all fields without issue and click OK, on Mac I can't because the Validation prevents me from selecting OK.

Interesting. For me, on Windows (MSIX) it's working like for you on Mac.

I also just tried it with the MSI installer, and OK is grayed out when First Name is empty, so I can't reset the vCard default there, either.

Another issue: The first time I try to edit the vCard default, the dialog is positioned with the OK/Cancel butttons below the screen edge, and inaccessible. You need to drag the dialog higher to make them visible to do anything with them.

For me on Windows, even with a 1920 x 1080 screen resolution the vCard QR Code Preset centres itself in the viewport so I still have access to the OK and Cancel buttons. What screen resolution are you using?

Shouldn't this just be whatever fill color you have selected? It seems like it would be even less useful or more confusing it if always came out black and you had to manually change it to the already selected fill color.
