Save QR SVG to copy-paste clipboard

[mbrouillet]

Background

I have seen https://github.com/rugk/offline-qr-code/wiki/FAQ#how-to-save-the-qr-code-on-disk
I would love there to be an additional item « Save QR code to clipboard ».

Proposed solution

Add an item line « Save QR code to clipboard SVG » and « Save QR code to clipboard image ».

Alternatives

Recognize Ctrl-C, or systematically place the QR-code in the clipboard each time a QR code is being displayed. (In that case, have an add-on setting to select SVG or PNG).

Additional context

Hi, can i work at it?

[rugk]

Both ideas are good ideas, actually. However, I would clarify it as:

• the extra context menu for clipboard: yes, possible, but AFAIK we'd want the PNG format to be saved in clipboard, only that is paastable in word or other software.
• when popup is open: recognize Ctrl+C and do the same as above. However, that is a thing you'd want to be able to disable, because one usually may want to copy the URL there. It can be opt-out, however, IMHO.

@FarIgos Sure, feel free to take a shot, I've assigned you.

@rugk Can I work on this issue? The user you assigned doesn't seem to be active / hasn't opened a pull request.

[rugk]

Sure, did that…

I'd like to say that implementing SVG copy/save support would be desirable since it is scalable. Meanwhile with a PNG or any other raster image, you need to make sure that it isn't compressed or aliased within the file to be scaled clearly and some image viewers fail to leave images alone when scaling up. This isn't a problem with Vector Graphics though
