Re: [O] Carsten's Interview relates questions, esay insert images, attachemnt locations etc..
Hi Charles and Carsten sorry for the belated repsonse but i have been tied up at work with other projects. So going back to the original question, i have used your example code Charles and modified it to work on my linux box, though i have zero lisp (or any other programming) knowledge so im not sure its correct: ;;org screenshot (defun paste-clipboard-to-file (optional filename temp-dir) Take a screenshot using the crosshairs and saveit to FILENAME,if it is given or to a temp file in the TEMP-DIR directory. Then add an orgmode style link at point. (interactive) (let* ((temporary-file-directory (or temp-dir images)) (fname (or filename (make-temp-file img nil .jpg (call-process-shell-command (concat /usr/bin/scrot -s -d 2 fname)) (insert \n[[file: fname ]]) (org-display-inline-images))) ;; (global-set-key (kbd C-c p) 'paste-clipboard-to-file) there are still some question i have. the little function seems to work and i do get an inline image inside org bit it seems to me it only work on the current window/workspace, is that correct? how can i modify it catch a screenshot from a web browser, PDF, other workspace etc? -also can one insert a delete mechanism for files deleted from the inline buffer (with a confirmation ofc). the reason i ask is because alot of the times the first 'take' isnt correct and that leaves alot of junk in these folders that are hard to trace manually best wishes and thank you all for your help best Z
[O] Carsten's Interview relates questions, esay insert images, attachemnt locations etc..
Hya all just finished listening to Carsten's Interview fantastic interview (hes a great speaker :)). one thing that i really found needing in my (very) short time using orgmode is an easy way to insert images into orgmode (i use that alot in academia). are there any long term plans to implement this? Also relates, how do you guys recommend currently to store the images/attachment used in org files as link? pile them all in one big folder, separate folder per org file, other method? any ideas would be greatly appreciated :) best Z
Re: [O] [Out-of-Thread] Re: [RFC] Org syntax (draft)
Hi again Thank you all for the responses. So as a neewb again, I dont really understand fully all the technical specifications from the above posts, what do you guys recommended i do if i want to start moving and using org now full time in terms of color support? should i use the current emp. method, use another method suggested above which will be 100% supported, wait with my move to org (what is the rough time frame for the new specification)? I would greatly appreciate any help as i am very keen to move over to orgmode full time best Z
Re: [O] [Out-of-Thread] Re: [RFC] Org syntax (draft)
Dear Carsten, Thank you for your quick reply. Let me start by first thanking you for your great work on orgmode, I only recently discovered it (someone referred me to your great talk on youtube) and it made me have the courage to start learning emacs and use orgmode. I (actually me and several colleagues here at the school of public health at Harvard) have been using for the past 4 years a note taking app called notecase pro (http://www.notecasepro.com/) which is nice but not FLOSS and lacking in other areas. I am a post doc who takes alot of notes (30-40) daily which include images and color markings. colors are especially important to us since we use them to mark different commands, research areas, paths, comments and warning so that we have a clear easy to remember color visual clue. We use 15-20 color fg/bg commands. An example note could look like this: http://i.imgur.com/Ncq6ozs.png i am a complete new orgmode user but i am so impressed and overblown with the features and definitely want to transition to use it full time and also convince my colleagues to do so as well. with the help of the #irc channel i was able to use the customizing features for the emphasize symbols to achieve color support . the config now looks like this: '(org-emphasis-alist (quote ((@ (:foreground #B4 :background #FF :weight bold) ) ($ (:foreground #FF) ) (* bold b /b) (/ italic i /i) (_ underline span style=\text-decoration:underline;\ /span) (= org-code code /code verbatim) (~ org-verbatim code /code verbatim) (+ (:strike-through t) del /del That would have worked for me but i understood that there are plans to actually disable these customization's in the next version to allow better portability. If its not to hard It would be great to have a method similar to the customizable emphasis that lets a user define custom colors of FG/BG for inline viewing. I am less concerned about exporting since at least for me i plan to do all the editing/viewing inline inside emacs (though it would be nice of course to be able to use it with mobile org and/or other mobile solutions for when we do field work). I will hold on with starting with the mammoth task of converting my Notecase notes into orgmode until the issues is resolved, i assume i should follow the mailing list to check on this? Sorry for the long email and thank you so much again for all your work, its truly fantastic Z.
