I’ve found a partial temp. solution to this problem on Windows until it is implemented: Use ShareX

These settings make it work nicely with Obsidian

  • After capture task: Enable ‘Copy file to clipboard’
  • Hotkey settings:
    • Capture region settings:
      • Set to ‘Print Screen’
      • Upload: Enable ‘Override upload settings’
      • File naming: Replace both patterns to: image-%y%mo%d%h%mi%s or your pattern
    • Start/Stop screen recording (GIF) settings:
      • Set to ‘Ctrl + Print Screen’
      • Upload: Enable ‘Override upload settings’
      • File naming: Replace both patterns to: mov-%y%mo%d%h%mi%s or your pattern

This creates a copy file somewhere else (your default folder) and then Ctrl+V can be used to paste in Obsidian. A bit ineficient as a file copy is created but you can either delete those at some point or point it to a default folder in Obsidian.
