    Bug QR Code Widget Scaling Fails

    Drop the QR Code Widget onto your page.
    Scaling to over 550 px or thereabouts causes the QR Code image and rendered object to disappear.

    Failing in XWD11P and XDPX10.

    Dear Xara...

    As you have not bothered, the failure is still there in XDPX 365 v15 because there is an undeclared limit to the chs parameter, widthxheight, in the https://developers.google.com/chart/.../docs/qr_codes. The limit is 457x457.
    Please note this API is deprecated and has not been supported since 20 April 2015.

    Every time one resizes the QR code, the Bitmap gallery adds another image of over 1MB.
    You bitmap has an excessively large white border.

    You need to address this.
    It would involve a fresh approach.
    qrcode.js & qrcode_config.js are impacted.

    You need to consider SVG generation. You are a vector program!
    You need to consider a Dynamic QR Code service.

    I currently use https://www.the-qrcode-generator.com/ as a free service. Other web generators are available.

    Dear Xara...

    You are leaving us behind.

    You use a free account. The QR codes you create can be used free of charge and commercially. You can create up to 5 QR codes in your account. A dynamic QR Code may be scanned up to 100 times per day. If you need a larger volume of QR codes with unlimited scans, take a look at our Paid Plans.
    Please update your abysmal QR Code Widget.
