OK. The first Open Source Macro so far (AFAIK).
I uploaded the Development branch in the Wiki section, here: http://coreldraw.com/wikis/resources/qr-creator-macro.aspx.
Be sure to read that first, before you start elaborating or using this cool macro.
The BETA GSM is available in my gallery, here: http://coreldraw.com/media/p/150284.aspx or here:4214.QRCode-Macro.gms.txt (Don't forget to delete ".txt" at the end of the filename before you install it)
I recently joined the Webinar about the new X6 release and someone asked the question id´f CorelDRAW X6 is able to create QR Codes now. No, not yet. So I wrote a small macro today in the morning to create them within CorelDRAW.
„We are SATISFIED if we got everything we wished to have. But we can only be HAPPY if our EGO hadn‘t been standing in our way to get there.“

Excellent initiative!
Is it expected to work with Draw X4? Because a quick test suggests not: I get a message saying No data to process yet.
It throws this message when you haven't clicked the "Click to reflesh" label above the preview before "Get QR code", or when you haven't filled the boxes with the data to make a QR code from. Does the preview show anything after you've reloaded it?
Very great macro, Master Jedi ! congratulations and thank you very much (in the name of all Corelians)

AWESOME, Shelby! Thank you for your contribution, that was very quick!!
I'm gonna check this one out for backwards compatibility and update it to the project page. I'm really stunned it gets so quick response!
Hi,
Sooo is there no way this macro can work with CorelDraw X4?
Looks great!

Is there any error message?
Here's the error I'm getting after entering some text and trying to generate the code.
I also notice that the "Vector" option is greyed out.
Thanks!
Jason,
After Entering your text, you need to click the "Click to Refresh" text to generate the QRCode, then you get press the Get QR Code to bring it into CorelDRAW.
Don't mind, but I think this step "click to refresh" is actually redundant. I'm currently changing the macro to update the preview while the textboxes are filled. A live preview. Then the message will only appear when all fields are empty and the user tries to import the QR code.
The vector checkbox is greyed out because it still needs to be prepared in the code. I have written a library which "traces" images to vector objects, it will be included in the next minor version.
Yes, I got it to work now. I confess I didn’t find the “Click to refresh” option very intuitive. Maybe because it doesn’t look like a button you click on?
Anyway, I can confirm it works in X4.
Many thanks.
Looking forward to the vector version.

Great to hear it works in X4! Which OS? We're getting close to the first stable version, in less than TWO DAYS! AWESOME! Thanks for your info, David. I've updated the macro to version 0.3.0 and deleted the refresh thing. It's now updating while the fields are filled. It's here: v0.3.0
I have encountered a bug with umlauts, but thats a minor problem. I have rewritten the urlencode function to support utf-8, so it will work with the next upload...
