Hello, my fellow org-mode lovers,
This is a feature request — or failing that, a request for advice on a settings
configuration which could produce this functionality now.
I wish org-mode had the ability to attach images to notes, display them inline,
and have that work well. By “work well” I mean a few specific things:
• the image is automatically resized to maintain aspect ratio and
fit horizontally with a civilized margin, so that I can resize my emacs window
without the image disappearing or swamping the other content.
• you can still scroll the window one line height unit at a time,
without the entire image being scrolled as if it were one giant line, breaking
scrolling, as seems to happen on my emacs (version 28.x on Linux)
• drag and drop, so I can add the image by dragging it in, for
instance from a screenshot tool or from an image on a web page.
• sensible defaults for storing the images bundled with notes and
keeping the two associated, so that I don't subsequently live in fear of ever
moving my org files
Why is this valuable, to me at least? I use org to take notes all day, during
meetings, on reading matter, in the development of my own thoughts. Embedding
images would let me collect every kind of resource I can't reproduce by typing
or copy and pasting text — photos of slides during presentations, photos of
whiteboard, key snippets from websites, handwritten notes and equations, etc..
