This plugin does not support iOS or desktop platforms. ## Features Features - Use the ribbon button or command palette to capture a photo on Android. - Photos are saved next to the note or in a configurable vault folder. - Embed the captured image at the cursor position. - Photos are automatically compressed to reduce file size (configurable compression quality, default 0.8). ## Usage Usage After enabling the plugin, you can capture and embed photos in your notes. ### Capture and Embed Photos 1. **Capture Photo**: - Use the ribbon button in the top bar (camera icon) to open your Android device’s camera. - Alternatively, use the **Capture photo and embed** command from the command palette . 2. **Save the Photo**: - The photo will be saved either in the folder next to your note or in a configured photos folder within your vault (configured in settings). 3. **Compression**: - If enabled, the photo will automatically be compressed before being saved, reducing file size based on your chosen quality setting. 4. **Embed in Markdown**: - The plugin will automatically insert a markdown image link at the current cursor position in your active note. ### Settings - **Photos Folder**: Set a vault-relative path (e.g., `Attachments/Camera`).
