Default [Brainstorm]QR Code at downloads section

I was wondering why we have this image instead of QR Code in downloads section of the packages ?

As we have such a nice application like mbarcode.

We can still leave the image clickable if you want to download it to computer, but mostly it would be much nicer to browse packages on desktop and straight to download them on device.

I did the bug report as request, but for several days got no response and any activity, so i posted here.

BTW as download section is discussed, maybe we should add the alphabet on the top of the list for quicker search and sort option(can't find the options to sort by name/author/last modification/upload).

thank you very much

Yep I'm all for that, we can simply encode the .install file path in a QR code and it will be downloaded and handled by the mime hander app (HAM) or we can add a custom handler for URLs ending in .install, or we can go the Android route and use a special keyword in the barcode (afair Android uses market:// or similar)
