Lightning QR Code is a small Thunderbird add-on for the Lightning extension that integrates QR codes for calendar events into tooltips for easy transfer to mobile devices.
This add-on for the Mozilla calendar project ("lightning") displays QR codes for events in the tooltips, which can be scanned and imported by apps like barcode scanner on your smartphone.
Only essential data which can be imported by barcode scanner is used for QR code generation, the rest is stripped so that the event data fits within the QR code limits.
Instead of utilizing a third-party web service and in this way risking the exposure of private data, the javascript qrcode library by Kazuhiko Arase is used (with some modifications).
Lightning QR Code is cross-platform and it works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux
Requirements:
· Thunderbird 8.0 and later
· Lightning
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Fix tooltip contents getting cut off horizontally. This doesn't touch the height, so the tooltip contents might still get cut off vertically. This is the default behaviour however and not related to the add-on.
· Fix potential compatibility issue with other add-ons (DOM namespace issue).
