[O] Inserting new images

2012-01-03 Thread Derek Thomas
I'm looking for a good way to insert sketches into org files.  I'm
preparing notes that consist of text and diagrams.  As I'm outlining,
I was thinking that it would be great if I could bind a key command to
insert a link to an svg file and then launch inkscape or something
similar to edit the file.  If anyone has done anything similar or has
any ideas, I would be interested to hear them.  By the way, I looked
at inkmacs and had some issues with dbus-proxy, so I'm completely open
to quick and dirty solutions.  Thanks!

Derek

I'm a fan of custom links.  IIUC, you should be able to accomplish much
of what you want with the information here:
