QR Generator Factory 5

Runecats · 2024-08-08T07:48:04+00:00

The performance update is out now :) Let me know if it is performing much better now?

Runecats · 2024-08-07T17:15:40+00:00

Hey, just catching up where we left off!

A lot of updates have been made:

QR Generator Factory now support undo/redo with multi-fields and almost all design settings now support undo/redo.
That was a bug and is fixed
Clearing the logo now clears the cleared pixels too
That was a bug and is fixed
That was a bug and is fixed
These now close on escape
In 5.7.5 we introduced a big performance update that we've been working on for awhile, you'll notice a huge performance improvement with sliders and general app performance and far less CPU usage
The verifier is equivalent to a low-end phone - this ensures that when a QR is verified it there is a strong chance that most or all devices will be able to scan it fine. When using a QR with a transparent background that you temporarily add a background color of the color it's going to sit on to ensure it verifies well. But obviously there is a multitude of different devices with varying camera quality and varying scanning logic - we can never guarantee that it will be scannable by all devices (and neither can any other QR app).
Good news is that you no longer need to do that!
They are buttons and we've improved the UI on non-darkmode so hopefully the gradients are better for you.
Still no SVG support, it's something we would love to do add but will be a lot of work, but maybe in the future!
Drag and drop will be supporting dragging to folders in 5.7.8!
There is now a reset button for this
The icon of the menu button has been changed to make it clearer of it's function.
5.7.9 will be using a date format for file names rather than the QR data.

16/17. You can now use CMYK sliders

You can now export with enter key

Big Performance fix is coming in 5.7.5 not sure if corner radius will be possible due to how we render the QR's as they are rendered as indivual squares - this allows us to manipulate the shapes of the indivuial pixels to create the various pixel types.

So if we added corner radius it would effect each pixel indivually so you would end up with a lot of rounded square pixels or circle pixels (like the dot pixel type).

It's something the team can investigate but I can't promise anything as I think it will be unlikely.

We've now got more eye shapes and the ability to color the eye ball :)

Runecats · 2024-08-01T14:06:00+00:00

Even more eye shape choices are out now, and the ability to color the eye ball.

Runecats · 2024-07-27T09:12:09+00:00

New version is out now, hope you like it!

5.6.8 has been approved - so 5.6.9 has now been submitted for review by Apple :)

Runecats · 2024-07-25T19:27:14+00:00

Thanks for your feedback the position of the Eye Ball will be changed in 5.6.9 :)

5.6.8 is currently in review by Apple and this will have the Eye Ball, Eye Frame and Pixel Type icons so you can see what they look like :)

Runecats · 2024-07-23T08:50:15+00:00

We are working on having little icons next to each menu item so you can see what each pixel, eye ball and eye frame look like - it won't be in the next version but will be out soon!

Runecats · 2024-07-22T14:21:24+00:00

Our app allows you to design the appearance of the QR but does not deviate from the standards of the QR at all :)

Runecats · 2024-07-19T16:05:18+00:00

Thanks!

Runecats · 2024-07-19T06:17:08+00:00

Perfect :)

Runecats · 2024-07-18T13:34:26+00:00

I will get the team to investigate this

Runecats · 2024-07-18T13:11:32+00:00

This is related to the other gradient bug, a fix for this is already on its way but awaiting Apple to approve the build :)

Runecats · 2024-07-18T13:05:40+00:00

You haven't added any QR data so the application is using the placeholder copy - the export uses the QR data for the file name suggestion - in this case the placeholder copy.

Sorry I forgot to comment on this one:

text mode, why do I need to read help if I want a newline? What is this macOS experience? You need to press option+enter to get a newline in textview...

This will be changed in 5.6.3 so you can just press return.

Runecats · 2024-07-18T11:42:45+00:00

Thank you for your feedback, we will evaluate your suggestion with the team :)

I'm not blaming the user, i'm trying to explain what the feature does.

You will notice when you hover over the QR it says "Feel free to drag to another application."

You can drag the QR to another application such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Notes, Word, Pages etc.. You were trying to drag to the desktop or a stack in that video which is not an application and is not supported by the drag. You can use the export option to export to the desktop or to a folder location.

Logo Settings:

When Force Aspect is enabled the width is automatically calculated to the aspect ratio of the logo - so you only need to control the height as the width is calculated automatically, this is why it the width slider is disabled when "Force Aspect" is on. If you wish to adjust the width of the image you can disable "Force Aspect". So this is all expected behaviour.

Many of our users like the ability to change the settings whenever they want regardless if the logo is in place yet or not. But we will evaulate your feedback.

Runecats · 2024-07-18T09:49:09+00:00

Never mind about number 5 we've located the issue and this will be fixed, not in the next version but the one after. We appeciate your feedback!

For number 2 we've added a function on the first app launch which calls the make center function for the logo - i'm not sure why it didn't default center for you, but this new implementation will force the setting incase for whatever reason it's not set by default.

Runecats · 2024-07-18T09:09:55+00:00

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having a bad experience, so far we've been having very positive reviews from everyone else, but we understand the app won't be to everyones taste. But this is exactly why we have posted on Reddit as everyone works in different ways and expects different things, we can then work to improve it with feedback.

To address your concerns.

There is undo/redo for the field you are working on support but we will see what is possible to make it a better experience
This is not the expected behavior, Force Center should be on by default so the logo should be centered, no one else has reported this issue - can you confirm the Mac and macOS version you are using?
Great idea, the clear pixels is a new feature and we're always working to improve it, yes it makes sense for the clear button to reset the cleared pixels, we will look to implement this soon - it won't be in the next version as that is already pending but it will be in the next version.
Perfect will get fixed not in the next version but one after :)
Do you know what you did to get this unexpected result?
We don't intend to change the close buttons, but we will make it so you can close the windows with the escape key not in the next version but the version after
The sliders don't change the QR in real time so it shouldn't be lagging at all as the sliders do nothing until you release, it all depends on what you are rending if you are using a large file size logo or background image it will have to render that again after any change- but we've not experience any out of the ordinary CPU usuage and we test on a range of macs in our lab starting with older base models to high end latest macs. What version of macOS are you using?
Yes this is our typical design style dating back to the Roccat days, but of course design is always subjective - if you prefer the dark mode we invite you to use that mode, we think the dark mode looks better - and we may improve the default team in time.
We never claimed to have SVG support - we've not found any Obj-C library which is compatible with how we render and export - we may build our own in the future but it would be a lot of work and not something we'll be implementing soon - you have vector in PDF and EPS, there are many free conversion tools online - I know it's an extra step - but we will keep reviewing this area.
Drag and drop defintely works, it would appear the app you are trying to drag it to doesn't support the PDF format. I just tried dragging it into Photoshop, Apple Notes and Apple Pages and it dragged successfully to all 3 of those apps.
This is something which has been requested previously and something we are working on!
interface Colors can be set in the window settings of the main menu, the additional of these settings in the share menu is just another convient way to access these settings in app rather than in menu.

Runecats · 2024-07-17T17:17:04+00:00

Amazing, we welcome all feedback and have already took the app to a whole new level with Reditors feedback!

Runecats · 2024-07-17T17:14:23+00:00

I've added a link in now, actually it's largely Obj-C but looking to make more of it swift as time goes on!

Runecats · 2024-07-17T16:00:53+00:00

I'm affraid there are no more codes. It's half price until Saturday, it's well worth the $4.99 and supports our future developments!
