Hi Jeremy
I played a bit with MECARD and the QR plugin. It seems to generate about the same codes as the Google API (I did not compare pixels), great stuff!
Most of the scanners on my iPhone (Scan, NeoReader, i-nigma, RedLaser) lose some content of my test card (either the birthday, the second email address the second phone number or the postal address), NeoReader is the only one that gets it all right. So the MECARD reception/transfer is much worse than vcard. But the most important information from my point of view is the URL – and this goes through in every app I have. Would you consider to add the URL to your example, please?
Here’s an anonymized version of my test content:

Were you scanning a computer screen, a printed page, or another small screen? Does it help if you change the error correction level?
Good luck,
Mark

Advantages of MECARD in my eyes: it has a nice compact format, not far away from dictionary tiddlers … and there were no problems with German umlauts.
Thanks again and good luck!

I would suggest that all plugin dependencies are explicitly stated (as they often are). In this case I guess it would be "requires 5.1.14". A reason for this can be illustrated with a case of my own; I have at least one TW where my tweaks (mostly page layout) conflict with later updates so it is "stuck" at 5.1.10, which is OK in this case as it works well enough for its purpose. I assume this is not a typical use case but still not totally uncommon. I'd thnk that people leaving the newbie stage and passing onto more advanced tweaking trying to e.g integrate a TW with some other system etc might end up in this. Just guessing. Anyway, for these cases it is valuable to know a plugins backward compatibility and other dependencies.
Again, thanks for a cool plugin! And overall thanks for yet more power in our little baby.@Greg - I found the generated qr image for e.g the url did not work properly in 5.1.13. When it does work properly, my qr reader (android "QR Scanner") automatically visits the url, but the qr image from 5.1.13 merely shows e.g "#testingtesting" and not the full url.<:-)

The core plugins and the TiddlyWiki core itself are in lockstep.
There is a partially implemented mechanism for plugins to enforce a minimum core version number.
Makes sense but it is not explicitly stated so how would a user know this? In the case of the QR plugin, it seems to work in 5.1.13 but doesn't fully.
There is a partially implemented mechanism for plugins to enforce a minimum core version number.Yea, enforcing it is beyond what I'd suggest but that detection mechanism sounds like it could be used to inform the user about the discrepancy.

Thomas - are you suggesting that we provide a vCard example instead or alongside the MECARD example?
Assuming a complete TW.html file is hosted at : 1234wxyz . com.
Creating a tiddler "PurpleRain" would deliver that tiddler via URL - http:// 1234wxyz . com/#PurpleRain
Not to be a wet blanket but …
> Basically, QR codes can be used to transfer any block of text that isn’t too long/complicated to fit.
And that, of course, leads to the downsides of QR codes, e.g., https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Qrljacking - the misuse of QR Codes to do not so nice things.
It seems to me that folks who use them on TW sites that allow federated content are going to be implicitly trusting every other person with write access to that federated content.
Even static TW's on public sites are going to have the same implications. It does not seem that there is anything keeping from me putting a QR Code in a tiddler claiming to be my contact info but instead sending the unsuspecting user to a phishing web site first, or a Rick Roll. Or it might not be me but someone who simply has obtained my login information to that publicly accessible content. Maybe using Qrljacking.
The TW community seems to be a very helpful one. But with its popularity and capabilities increasing I am not sure that will remain universally true indefinitely. A google of 'qr code vulnerabilities' mentions might give you pause.

We could also do with a smaller size of the QR image (to fit appropriately on mobile devices).
I can ctrl(-) to make the QR image smaller on my laptop, but no such luck on my phone.
While the QR code is neat, could it's icon be move to the left of the closing icon? All my instincts are to always look for the closing icon in the upper right hand corner. Having the QR code, an occasional activity, take over the position of the closing action, an always-needed activity, breaks up the work flow.

there are LOT of RED flags in it when you try look at stuff
The QR Code generator plugin. I was not clear enough I was referring to earlier posts.
$:/plugins/tiddlywiki/qrcode/ViewToolbarButton/Rendered
I just tried to look into $:/plugins/tiddlywiki/qrcode/ViewToolbarButton/Renderedfirst from the plugin (contents tab) then from the advanced search (Shadows tab).
All my preferred browsers throw JS errors at me (Safari, FF, Chrome on Mac).
Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
Skript: http://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/ line 25874 > eval:137 (FF)
Is this due to an error or to the many browser tabs I have in all of my browsers?
Kind regards,
Thomas
PS: Writing this I wondered about case differences in contents / Shadows (first letter uppercase) is there a logic I am not aware of?

A small point on the editor's behaviour. When you click on any action that has a pop-up you then decide you don't want it you have to click OUTSIDE the editable area to dismiss it. Its not intuitive (to me at least) to have to do that.

The new "Heavier" theme seems to only make the stuff that is already big (titles, headlines, bold text) bigger. The ordinary text stays the same size. For my poor eyes, it's the small stuff that needs to get bigger. Perhaps it works differently on other browsers?

It doesn't seem to change the font weight of the smaller text.
I think I found a small export tiddler bug, the popup menu for tiddlers containing two double quotes in their titles e,g, New Tiddler "test"
