    Drag and drop images to Emacs org-mode

  • I'm embedding images in org-mode using org-download, which saves the captured image that is in the clipboard, inserts the path as text in the org file, and then display the image inline. This works fine. [[file:.images/morepathstuff:/2021-04-12_04-44-34_screenshot.png]]

  • flameshot

    Powerful yet simple to use screenshot software :desktop_computer: :camera_flash:

  • But I can't copy the image out, without drawing a rectangle around the image with a screen capture tool like flameshot. I can only copy the emacs image file path as shown above.
