Good to see you about Svenn-Arne

Yep, sounds like a plan. The QRcode plugin actually works now for mime type file opening, but it would probably be preferable to avoid writing a temporary file.

It's not a config file though, it's a temp file that I then open using the mime handlers and delete when mBarcode stops.

I'll check this out later (if noone beats me to it).
Yeah, I wasn't sure how the recommends field is handled by HAM, but that would be the ideal method.

Ah, well in that case I won't try to upload it, but it should still compile if it's an example
