  • Inline display custom binary files: would it be possible to create a custom image handler?
    4 projects | /r/emacs | 25 Jun 2023
    Many packages like org-krita/org-yt/org-excalidraw/org-xournalpp allow custom files to be displayed inline by means of a custom link type. However, they don't work when the file is linked as an attachment, which makes me think that there may be a better way to achieve this.
  • Integrating Drawings into org-mode
    4 projects | /r/orgmode | 9 Mar 2023
    I have been looking for a good way to get hand drawn images into my org notes. I use mermaid for generating some flowcharts/images, but sometimes there is no replacement for a physical drawing. The last thread I saw on this was from 2 years ago, and org-mark and org-krita were mentioned, and look good but both have limitations. I was wondering if anyone has made/found other packages to get a hand-drawn image work flow with org?
  • Embed excalidraw in Emacs?
    6 projects | /r/emacs | 18 Feb 2023
    https://github.com/wdavew/org-excalidraw is close. I discovered you can install Excalidraw from Chrome, and then it is like a local program. That is pretty amazing in itself. org-excalidraw indeed offers an org-link and way to make an excalidraw file from emacs, edited natively in an external excalidraw window. The svg preview does not work though if you use freehand lines in your image, and I was unable to install the npm packages on my Mac for some uninteresting reason related to DNS, but it did work in a node docker image. I find writing in excalidraw less advanced than in tools like Notability or PDFExpert. There are some artifacts in excalidraw from smoothing, or dangling pixels that I don't love. I forgot I had previously used https://github.com/lepisma/org-krita. Krita is a full drawing program, and this integrates into org-mode with image previews nicely. I am not that skilled in using it, and as a full drawing program, it has a learning curve. I wrote https://github.com/jkitchin/scimax/blob/master/scimax-inkscape.el to integrate inkscape into org-mode. It works, but I find inkscape slow to open, and I am not that skilled in using it.

    I've found that org-krita https://github.com/lepisma/org-krita works really well after a few tweaks, if you have a tablet.
