Re: [GNC-dev] EPC QR code

Hi Frank,

I attach a screenshot of the SEPA transfer form of Gnucash:

My thought was adding a button (sketched in Green in the screenshot): Import 
EPC-QR






If a user clicks a button an external program gets executed and returns the 
EPC-QR data (format in which the data is provided can be defined in way which 
make it as easy as possible on the gnucash side). Gnucash fills the data into 
the SEPA transfer form.

The external program can be the small python script reading from a webcam or a 
file. For me this solution would be quite flexible and could be adapted to 
whatever a user/platform requires. I was also thinking that reading the QRcode 
from the clipboard could be a quite elegant option, which could be compatible 
with many workflows (e.g. my favorite pdf viewer okular would allow to mark the 
QR code and copy the image to the clipboard).

It would not bring new link-level dependencies and there is also no need to 
use python in gnucash internally. 

It is not even limited to EPC QR codes, any external data source could be used 
to fill in the SEPA transfer fields.

Regards
Rainer
