Feature description

New action to scan QR code from existing picture.

Why do you want this feature?

Very useful as I dont have to send picture to my laptop to scan it from there. I don't need to use other third party apps, and I don't need Google lens.

It's planned in Fossify Camera: FossifyOrg/Camera#25, it's not a responsibility of a gallery app.

Hej Agnieszka,

I think that QR codes from existing pictures fits more into picture viewer rather than to a camera app. Of course scanning QR codes via lens of the of the mobile would fit better into camera app.

Moreover link you provided does not address my request posted here, which is strictly about scanning from existing files.
