Re: [O] Help, I need to paste raw image from clipboard into emacs/orgmode
Hi Klaus,
I found the function very useful so I expanded it a little to have more
flexible image file names. First, I use the base name of the file in the
current buffer as a prefix to the image file name. Then I added an integer
buffer-local variable to be the image file name's suffix (preceded by an
underscore) which is incremented every time new image is pasted:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar org-clipboard-image-suffix 0)
(make-variable-buffer-local 'org-clipboard-image-suffix)
(setq-default org-clipboard-image-suffix 0)
(defun org-insert-clipboard-image ()
(interactive)
(incf org-clipboard-image-suffix)
(let* ((image-file
(concat (file-name-base (buffer-file-name))
"_"
(format "%d" org-clipboard-image-suffix)
".png"))
(exit-status
(call-process "convert" nil nil nil
"clipboard:" image-file)))
(org-insert-link nil (concat "file:" image-file) "")))
#+end_src
It would be very convenient if there were a way to determine if the
clipboard contains an image, then use defadvice to call this function with,
say, org-yank. Unfortunately I couldn't find any emacs functions to query
properties of the content of the (Windows) clipboard. I only see
w32-get-clipboard-data which returns only text.
Regards,
Alex

Re: [O] Help, I need to paste raw image from clipboard into emacs/orgmode
(defun my-org-insert-clipboard ()
(interactive)
(let* ((image-file "clipboard.png")
(exit-status
(call-process "convert" nil nil nil
"clipboard:" image-file)))
(org-insert-link nil (concat "file:" image-file) "")
(org-display-inline-images)))
That works for me (Emacs 24.3, Windows 7) though for practical use some
more edge case handling ("don't insert on failure", "different name if file
exists") will be wanted.

Thanks for the tip. Do you have an elisp piece that handles the image insertion into org buffers?

While the original poster probably long since has implemented one of the previously suggested solutions (or given up) I thought I'd share a more general solution I found [1]. ImageMagick's `convert' can use clipboard: as input file (don't know if it works as output file). convert clipboard: FILENAME-WITH-EXTENSION I tested it with the cygwin and native windows versions and both worked. king regards, Klaus PS1: On Windows `convert.exe' might be shadowed by another executable, especially C:\Windows\System32\convert.exe. In that case the PATH variable should be adjusted such that ImageMagick comes before C:\Windows\system32. To check what shadows the executable, you can run "where convert" in the Windows-commandline.

Therefore any screenshot tool will do. This works for me under Windows XP: (I had to introduce the tilde-buffer-filename variable for irfanview to work) (defun org-screenshot () "Take a screenshot into a time stamped unique-named file in the same directory as the org-buffer and insert a link to this file." (interactive) (setq tilde-buffer-filename (replace-regexp-in-string "/" "\\" (buffer-file-name) t t)) (setq filename (concat (make-temp-name (concat tilde-buffer-filename "_" (format-time-string "%Y%m%d_%H%M%S_")) ) ".jpg")) ;; Linux: ImageMagick: (call-process "import" nil nil nil filename) ;; Windows: Irfanview (call-process "c:\\Programme\\IrfanView\\i_view32.exe" nil nil nil (concat "/clippaste /convert=" filename)) (insert (concat "[[file:" filename "]]")) (org-display-inline-images)) So this is how it works: 1. take a screenshot with any tool you are used to use 2. change to your org buffer and call "org-screenshot" via M-x Instead of ".jpg" you can use any format IrfanView understands, for example "png".

You can see this[1] section on Worg dealing with this issue. However this solution uses the ImageMagick library. I am not sure this is available on Windows. Maybe you can adapt this and find a solution that fits your need. Footnotes: [1] http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#sec-3-8 -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
[O] Help, I need to paste raw image from clipboard into emacs/orgmode
Dear All, Please Help, I need to paste raw image from clipboard into emacs/orgmode, I am a microsoft onenote user and I got used to take a lot of snapshots and embed it into my notes, I think if I could know how to embed images directly into emacs/orgmode from clipboard, I will switch to emacs very easily. I searched the internet but unfortunately I didn't find the answer, Thanks a lot. Dodo
