Android > Share picture(s) > Joplin doesn't create a note

Coming from evernote I've used this process a lot:

Scanning document(s) via e.g. TapScanner app
share those scanned picutures/scans (jpg) with the 'share' button
select my 'shrink picture' app in there - so the jpg size of each picture is shrinked by ~50%
in my 'shrink picture' app I then share again the pictures and now select the Joplin app
what I thought would happen is a new note is generated with the selected jpg file(s) I shared from that shrink app to Joplin but what actually happen is only Joplin app is opening, nothing more...

"Share" in android does not work Support

I tested. Indeed when it is previously in "All notes"> it does not focus, no note is created. If a notebook is previously selected> a note is created automatically (page and selection of text). I think there must be a few of us who start on "All Notes" to access research faster. Perhaps it would be possible to send to a default book in options in the future ?

Sharing text via Joplin does create a new note
but sharing images (e.g. jpg) vie Joplin does not create a new note

@laurent Did a small donation to support Joplin in general (it helped me to find my successor to evernote) and I hope you consider to also support sharing image(s) in Android which produces a new note with the shared image(s) as attachements in it.

Thanks for your work - and also thanks to all plugin devs out there which complete the Joplin program
