Worksheet Input: Fails to find QR code from emailed jpeg

[willsummers]

We can't use the local IP address import since our wired workstations and wireless devices are on different networks. We have had success emailing pictures to ourselves and then using the import worksheet command from there but we sometimes run into issues.

The image looks fine in Mac OS X 10.11.6 finder but then inputs upside down and doesn't find the QR code. When prompted to select the top-right corner I selected the top right corner of the scanned page (bottom left in the image since the page is upside down.) I hoped that the software would understand the orientation and turn the page around but it didn't work. I don't think it respects the image rotation that is done in Apple preview.

I solved the issue for myself by bringing all the worksheets into Photoshop, rotating them and then exporting them back out as PNG's but I would like to see it work in-app.

Here is a link to the file in question:

Hmm - I was able to import that image with no problem. Can you email me the image: charles@wonderunit.com I think dropbox might actually be fixing the image.

@audionerd can we comment out the corner point sorting so it will allow him to rotate the image when tweaking the corners?

[audionerd]

Could try that. Is the rest of the code smart enough to handle the rotation?

Probably the "right way to do it" would be to read the EXIF data containing orientation from the file: and rotate automatically, using e.g.: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32490603 or https://github.com/exif-js/exif-js

I think its os specific perhaps. All of his images imported for me fine. So I don't know what the difference is.

To test, you could also just take a picture and manually rotate it, or take a picture of a worksheet upside down.

While we don't yet have the ability to detect orientation, there will be a workaround for this issue in the next version of Storyboarder.

You can enter the QR code manually, then "Tweak Corner Points", and set the corners manually (accounting for rotation).
