Add a toolbar option which would launch the camera in one click, and allow capturing the image with another click of the shutter button, which would directly add a link to the image in the currently open file and directly add the image file to the (set by default) attachment folder.
This would allow taking a photo and adding it into notes directly with just 2 taps. This would go a long way in aiding quick capture of events into notes.
Currently to be able to take a photo and to add it to obsidian one would have to leave obsidian, launch the camera app, take the photo, then go back to obsidian, and finally find the image using the attachment tool. This has a little too much friction (for me) to be able to use it meaningfully.
The Android app, Markor, has a similar toolbar tool but for some reason they combined many attachment options and made the capture process involve multiple clicks.

Now I do exactly what @Peanut describes, but, in the field, I’m usually in a hurry (aren’t we all?), so I just take a photo an hope that I remember to add it later to Obsidian.
Hmm, I think I omitted the word PDF in my original post, which was merged with this one.
I’m explicitly talking about creating a PDF scan/image from the camera.
@WhiteNoise
This feature exists in iOS. This request here is for Android.
Also my request was for a scan to PDF button, not to JPG.
Please can you re open my request as I don’t think its relevant to the one in this thread.
Thanks.
