Bug Description
The original report is here:
http://
=========
suggested user interface:
* when "contact information" data type is selected:
offer a "load from file" button, which opens a .vcf file and loads it
into the editor.
* command line: accept .vcf files as command line arguments; in that
case, immediately go to contact information mode, load the file, and
display the qr code.
this would also lend itself to file associations; qtqr should ship
appropriate .desktop files, so vcard files can be opened in qtqr from
graphical file browsers, and immediately be shared with qr reading
tools.
* when vcard qr codes are loaded, an additional "save" option might be
provided along with "ok" and "edit".
as far as user interface is concerned, i'd suggest to drop the popup
dialog altogether (along with the suggested "save" option), and instead
immediately load the data, and offer respective buttons in the editors
(eg. a "save" button next to the "open" button suggested above, a "open
in browser" button when urls are handled etc).

Seems to be a good feature. I'll give it a shot when I can.
Not completely sure about the user interface changes, I don't think they are very consistent with the actual GUI. But I haven't made my mind yet.
Thanks for reporting!
I'll get back to you with the news.
