I cannot figure out how to trigger the generator. Where is that "one click"?? No instructions on the download page, just a lot of verbiage about how great it is. No right click, after internet search says there's supposed to be an icon in the upper right (there isn't), finally found an internet suggestion to use Ctrl. Shift F10, but that just shows the QR code without a ready way to copy or download it. Github site is way over my head, I need some instructions.

It is easy to use, I love it, I had only one issue with it. If I want to convert a larger text into QR code then the image is blurry, no QR reader can read it. Even if I save the QR code as an image, it is the same. Changing the QR code size to automatic doesn't work. Setting it explicitly to 1000 pixel is bugous, the QR code is not completely visible and it won't be larger than 420 pixels anyway, whatever size you adjust. I think "automatic" should mean a minimum size of, say, 100 pixels and pick an appropriate size so that every pixel is visible. Otherwise, it is a very handy little tool, thank you for it.
