Import QR code from image only works on a raw machine-generated image because it looks at every single pixel in the image to extract information rather than doing a fuzzy match like the camera scanning does. When you take a picture or a screenshot of a QR code, you're both adding new irrelevant information and removing important information.
There are two simple ways to generate QR code images that can be read by the import path:
- From the Collect share option.
- By saving the GIF from Central. Right click on the image, save as.
A png or gif QR code image you generate with a script will also work.
We can add some of this to the docs. I'm intrigued about how you ended up trying to import a screenshot/picture. Is it because you needed to send the config information from a device other than the one you had the QR code on? Because you need to manage several configs?
