Starting QR by Zaweba with a link, and what it remembers
Start QR by Zaweba with a web address or text after its name and the code is made at once. Which settings are remembered between uses, and which never are.
A small feature can save a lot of clicks. If you start QR by Zaweba with a web address or some text after the program name, that text goes into the code straight away. The app opens with the code already drawn and checked, ready to save or copy.
Add to that the way it remembers your style settings, and repeat work becomes quick.
Starting with something already in the code
Most people start the program from the Start menu and type their link into the box. That's fine for the odd code. But if you make codes often, or want to make one from somewhere else, giving the link when the program starts skips a step.
There are several ways to use it. A Windows shortcut on the desktop can include a link after the program's path, so double-clicking it opens QR by Zaweba with your website's code ready. A script or a batch file can start the program with different text each time. Someone comfortable with the command line can type the program name followed by the link.
The text you give is put into the code exactly as given. For a page, give the full address starting with https://.
What it remembers between uses
Your choices for size, margin, error correction and colours are remembered from one use to the next. That suits anyone producing codes in a consistent house style: the same size for the same leaflet, the same brand colours, the same margin that suits your printer. Set them once and every new code starts that way.
Because the colours carry over, it is still worth glancing at the live preview each time. It reads every code back and says Checked: it reads back exactly, or tells you plainly what is wrong.
What it never remembers
The contents of fields such as Wi-Fi passwords are not remembered. Close the app and they are gone. That is deliberate: the Wi-Fi network kind needs the real password to make a code that joins the network, and there is no reason for that password to sit in a settings file afterwards, especially on a shared or office PC.
So when you make a Wi-Fi code, type the details, save or print the code, and close. Next time, type them again.
Help, themes and updates
QR by Zaweba includes a Help menu for when you want a reminder of what each kind of code does, light and dark themes to suit your screen and your eyes, and an update check.
The theme is about the app's own window, not your codes. A dark window doesn't change the colours you have chosen for the code, which are still best dark on light for scanning.
Putting it together
A practical set-up for a small business might be this. Set your size, margin, error correction and brand colours once. Make a desktop shortcut that starts QR by Zaweba with your website's address, so the most common code is one double-click away. For everything else, open the program normally and pick the kind of code you need, knowing your house settings are already in place.
For a sheet of labels rather than a single code, the same creator is inside Labels by Zaweba from Insert, QR code creator, with a Put on the label button that places the code in your label design with the same size, colour and error correction.
Small conveniences, but they add up when codes are part of your week rather than a one-off.
