Cannot read gift code QR code

The gift codes are given as a QR code but swarm desktop (at least the Debian/Ubuntu version) does not seem to be able to read the QR code as it has no access to the computer's camera. It would be useful to have the option to read the QR code with the camera.

(Currently I would need to install a separate QR reader app (this would not work for the average user) and copy-paste, or use a phone to read the QR code and then somehow transfer the code to the desktop computer. This is very inconvenient.)

https://zbar.sourceforge.net/ might be a solution.
