    Add a feature to have the generated QR code be a link to the created VCF download link.

    This would allow the card contents to change dynamically, which is especially useful in cases where the QR code is printed and not generated on the fly.

    This also has the benefit of making the QR Code contents smaller so that the generated QR code is less complex and dense.

    A nice-to-have addition would be the ability to set the permalink/slug for the VCF file as is currently allowed for the QR code image.

    The new version works great!

    I expected a toggle to choose between raw vCard embedding and link to VCF file, but your implementation of providing both is even better.

    Thanks for the quick enhancement!

    Upon closer inspection, I realized that the card Photo URL is encoded in the big QR Code generated from the vCard, and is included with both PHOTO and LOGO tags.

    But neither of those tags appear in the generated VCF link data returned.

    I am hoping this is just an oversight.

    Thanks

    In qr code i use url image format.
    Only in vcf file i put image as data
    And yes, i use both of photo and logo field. In is not break vcf but help to support devices with incorrect vCard implementation.

    You are correct about how it works.

    One of my apps stripped the embedded image data and I missed that. When I downloaded the VCF file directly, I see the encoded image data.

    The option to choose image link or raw data would be a nice-to-have feature, but your implementation works as designed and is functional.

    Thanks for the great plugin!
