the only things I didn't like of obsidian was working with images was a nightmare, in Evernote you have a shortcut to take an area screenshot, it stores automatically in a folder, then you can write stuff below it, and move it to another folder, really good work flow I miss in obsidian.

I use the OS’s native screenshot functionality[1] and just paste it directly to the note. The only thing I need to remember is to assign the attachment folder, so that the image ends up in the correct place. If you move the note or the attachment/image file via Obsidian’s own file browser, all links are updated automagically.

For me the copy and paste into a note functionality works perfectly. Actually that’s one of the most seamless parts of the app. I use it everywhere along with macOS’s built in screenshot.
