Adding a photo to a point should be simplified.

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.

This box should include options for selecting a photo, entering a description, and choosing whether the photo should be used as an icon. When a photo is selected, the text input field for the description should appear directly below the photo. The option to use the photo as an icon should be retained in the dialog box and remember the last selected status until the user decides to change it.
