+1 for windows support. I would also need such a image copy tool under windows.
A way to capture an image and have it referenced/included in an org file with a simple keychord would be most welcome. What most of my colleagues - non Emacs users - do is open MS Word, paste some captured images and write some simple comments. No need to copy, save and link to an image. A documentation including some screenshots is done in a snap. For me this is one of the things I miss a lot while living in Org. Anybody knows about a comparable tool to Imagemagick "import" under Windows? =============================================================================== OK - I searched a bit and found this, which works on command line: (see http://www.irfanview.de) Example for /capture: i_view32.exe /capture=0 Capture the whole screen. i_view32.exe /capture=6 Start in Capture mode, use last used capture dialog settings. capture values: 0 = whole screen 1 = current monitor, where mouse is located 2 = foreground window 3 = foreground window - client area 4 = rectangle selection 5 = object selected with the mouse 6 = start in capture mode (can't be combined with other commandline options) Advanced examples: i_view32.exe /capture=2 /convert=c:\test.jpg Capture foreground window and save result as file. i_view32.exe /capture=2 /convert=c:\capture_$U(%d%m%Y_%H%M%S).jpg Capture foreground window and save result as file; the file name contains time stamp. =============================================================================== I will try this in my Org environment. -- Rainer Am 04.05.2011 02:37, schrieb Mark S.: > This doesn't work under windows even if you have ImageMagick installed.
