Importing adds an address, and I have no idea what you are talking about with the scanning window.
If you mean scanning a QR code, no, you have to type in the private key.

Yes, I've meant scanning a QR code. Thank you for the info!
Maybe you know a good but NOT android QR scanner/decoder, something that could work with the camera built into laptop?

blockchain.info

yes, I know, but it's BTC only. I mean the app that works this way, but could be used to altcoins.

You would have to scan the QR code, then copy the private key into your qt.

Ok! So I have finally made safe all my families bitcoins by getting them off QT and into paper wallet generated offline

Just wondering what the best way to get them back out is, I would like to know how to do this in case I should ever need to in a hurry.

The QT can't import private keys can it?

Bitcoind can, but that's a bit beyond me it seems.

Blockchain.info the best option for someone like me?

Go to the debug console, do "importprivkey privatekey".

This will open a scanning window, or the privkey must be scanned other way and put with ctrl+v?
Importing adds new address or replaces the existant ones in wallet.dat?

help -> debug console, then type in the same commands as bitcoind
