Enable new wireless network connection by scanning its qrcode

Hi,

My wifi password is a generated password and I don't want to bother typing it on the Jolla because it is 63 characters long and it is complicated.

On Android there is an application called "Barcode Scanner" (com.google.zxing.client.android) which enables the connection to a new wireless network by scanning a wifi connection string through it's qrcode picture :

$ zbarimg -q --raw myWiFi.png
WIFI:S:mySSID;T:WPA;P:mfejzjfjjnflzwmjflirhrvmo;H:true;;

Btw: H:true means the SSID is hidden.

Can you provide an application or a SailFish Gui that enables a new wireless network connection by scanning its qrcode ?
