Hi,

I'm using mbarcode-0.2.4 and it does not recognize calendar events embedded in
QR-Codes - I only get the plain text VEVENT instead.

It would be cool if you could add a plugin which automatically recognizes
VEVENTS and allows the user to add these events to the device calendar.

See http://bit.ly/9wsR8d for a sample QR-code containing a VEVENT.

I've just added some commented-out code to mBarcode to parse and add iCal
events using Qt-Mobility 1.1 + Versit. Unfortunately this library is not
currently available in Extras-* (an older version is which lacks the Calendar
functionality), but there is some discussion about how/whether it could be
added.

If it turns out that it won't be added, I'll grab the relevant code and
compile/link it directly to mBarcode, but I'd prefer to wait a bit and see what
the official outcome is.

Hi,

libqtm-12-versit is now available in extras-devel. I hope that VEVENT support
can now be enabled per default :)

I've enabled this code in mbarcode-plugins-qrcode_0.0.7-0 (SVN commit 522), but
it doesn't seem to add anything in the few tests I've run.

I'm wondering if the Calendar backend is functional in qtm-calendar.

Please test once I push a new version of the qrcode plugin and I'll also do
some digging to see whether this should work.

If not, then this will require more coding to either add the backend to Qt
Mobility Calendar or to use the old libcalendar (name?) library.

Patches/help welcome :)
