Title: Adding a photo to a point should be simplified.
Post by: Graf Geo on March 05, 2026, 21:56:15
Today, I wanted to add photos as attachments to several points. Once again, I noticed that this is quite cumbersome and requires a lot of clicks:

1. I create a point.

2. I open it, select edit and then attach file.

3. I select "Select photo" . (BTW: Now it depends: if I select a photo directly from the system gallery, a copy of the photo is created under menion.android.locus/data/media/photo. However, if I select the photo from my gallery app, a link to the photo's storage location is set, e.g. ... /DCIM.)

4. Now I have to choose whether the photo should be used as an icon.

5. Now I want to add a description. To do this, I have to click on the pencil icon on the photo. The text input field opens. However, I cannot write my text straight away, but have to click on the pencil icon to the right of it again. (Why??)

6. Now I write the description and click on the tick.

7. Now I have to save it, but the save button is hidden by the text input field.

8. I first have to swipe away the text input field before I can finally save it.

This should be much easier:

When I select a photo, the text input field could appear directly below it, where I can write directly if necessary or leave it blank. The save button could be there immediately so that I can save the photo straight away, regardless of whether I enter a description or not.
Similarly, the selection field (photo as icon or not) could be displayed in the same dialogue box and retain the last selected status permanently until I change it.

Everything in one dialogue box would save a lot of clicks.
