vCard QR Code Creator - README

This Inkscape extension creates QR codes that contain your personal business card information in a standardized machine readable format (vCard 4.0), so you can quickly share your info by just letting another person scan your QR code with their mobile phone, e.g. when meeting people at a conference or business fair.

It contains fields for both private and business information.

All fields except for the name field are optional. Consider creating different codes for private and business events.

The most up-to-date version can be found at https://gitlab.com/moini_ink/vcard-qr-code-creator

Inspired by Sergey Vedernikov's vCard QR Code generator extension.

Installation
============
Copy the files in the src/ directory into the user extensions
directory (see 'Inkscape Preferences > System' for the exact location)
and relaunch Inkscape.

Usage
=====

In Inkscape, you can find the extension in Extensions > Render > Barcode > vCard QR Code.
The 'Full name' field is the only required field.
Each field has an info text with an example which appears when you hover above it with the mouse cursor.

Formatting is important! Email addresses, links to images / GPG keys and your birthday must be formatted correctly.
The extension will automatically determine the correct QR code size. As QR codes have a limited size (less than 3000 characters), it may happen that the extension tells you that the text is too long. You can then reduce the error correction level to gain capacity and / or shorten/remove some of your data from the form.
When you have entered all the information that you would like to appear in your vCard, click on 'Apply'. This will add a QR code to your document.

Test the QR code with your phone's QR code scanner.

Use: print it on your business card, share it on your website, copy it to your phone, …
