Thanks for your answer Suvayu! Sorry for being unclear. What I mean is that when I write reports or papers using org-mode and latex exporter it is natural to take care in storing my image files in a structured way on my disk and use links in org-mode to incorporate the images in my latex document. These image files will live on my disk more or less forever.
But if I write a note or some guide for myself regarding usage of some software, or the settings in my router, I would like to take a series of screenshots, quickly incorporate them into an org file together with some text without having to rename the screenshots with suitable names and organize them on my disk etc. I'd like org-mode to store the images somewhere in a data directory as an attachment, but of course I'd like the screenshots to be incorporated in the pdf-file when I export it. Is this possible?
