Hi there,

in the last builder version I was using two CameraService at a time, one for opening from local storage, and the other one from camera itself. but since new builder version it seems to be not possible anymore, as both buttons (didnt change them) invoke the camera instead of opening local storage.

so i deleted one, and wanted to create new camera service, but if one service is already exisiting, "camera service" is greyed out: Image

thanks for your help

Hello Timo,

You can use camera service two or more times in your app's pages (http://prntscr.com/85se9o), but you can add it only ones into services list (http://prntscr.com/85seyn)

Dear Timo,

Camera service opens camera, you can access device gallery via 'file' input type of Input component.
