I enabled QR reader with WITH_SCANNER=on on linux, it seems it is not possible to choose the cam, and the only way to get out of scanning is dbl-click into preview. How works this on win/macOS? Or is it by default disabled on all platforms? Would it not be logical to cancel scanning on ESC and on clicking close on the window, only cancel scanning instead of exit the application?

UR scanning and displaying should be done in the same way the address scan is done, not?

selsta: you are the right person to ask this questions, or?

I haven't built with scanner in a while

it's disabled everywhere by default

cancel scanning can be changed, since it's not enabled by default there has never been put much work into improving the UI

UR scanning?

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> UR is like an animated QR code that feather and anonero use for offline signing

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> And now xmruw

yeah UR is a protocol which uses CBOR, and weired atletic movements to no use QR binary mode, and it is/will become the defacto standard to exchange the outputs, key images, unsigned tx, signed tx. So my plan after I have seen the advanced part (to my shame, I have never noticed while actively using the monero-gui since years), is to put a checkbox in settings like imgur.com/a/KaDz6J3 (probably other position and other text...

And then use the same buttons in advanced to show/scan the UR codes to transmit the data. I would implement the display/scan of the UR just like the address QR scan.

And on the welcome screen one option more to scan the view wallet QR code (which can be a `monero_wallet:` URI or a json, like ANONERO uses).

from what I remember getting static builds with QR code scanning working is quite complicated, I remember tobtoht_ messed around with it a lot for feather

that's why it never got enabled by default
