Thunderbird - Export for Mobile not Working

[caom]

The "Export for Mobile" creates the QR codes, but the mobile app does not scan them on Android. You can see the image that it should capture of the QR code, but it never acts like it recognizes it and the "Done" button doesn't finalize it/take a photo of the QR code for processing either.

In addition, there is no way to export a physical file to import to mobile from the desktop application in the  version 152.0.1 (64-bit) that I am using. The mobile application does not recognize the normal desktop export.

This renders the mobile import process entirely unusable.

Same problem here, even if I try 1 amount at a time.

Yes, same here. Absolutely pathetic, and they have the audacity to ask for contributions!

I tried every  trick in the book - switched to light screen, used Ctr - and Ctr +, and there is just no recognition.

Tried it with a Xiaomi Redmi 10, Xiaomi Redmi 15C and a Honor 200. No luck.

Pathetic to say the least.
