Paste an image on clipboard to Emacs Org mode file without saving it

Question

As I\'m using the Emacs Org mode as a research log, sometime I want to keep track of something via screenshot images, and I definitely don\'t want to save them. So I\'m wonderin

Answer 1

I like the images and other material that belongs together with an org file to be located in a clearly associated directory. I am using the org-attachment mechanism for this and wrote a few years back a package org-attachment-screenshot that is also available from MELPA. It allows providing a function for defining the directory name (e.g. document name + some postfix) for the attachments, and will also support the standard attachment functionalities, e.g. if you want to define attachments based on entries, and inheriting within entries. Also provides customizable variable for the snapshot command to be executed. Please have a look.
