Thanks Aankhen.
That seems to have fixed the technical problem. Unfortunately, because of the
way irfan works, all I was able to get pictures of was the emacs screen! People
with lots of screen real-estate can have emacs and their target application up
at the same time, but that doesn't work on my older screen.
So instead, I have the code grab whatever is in the clipboard and use it. Then
if I want a screen capture, I can use whatever tool is available. Surfulator
has a really nice free screen capture. Also, with this approach I can
right-click on images in the browser, click "copy image" and use those images
directly.
As for viewing, the only way I know is to export to HTML. Ctl-c e b is quick. I
vaguely remember that there is a way to actually view images inline in Emacs,
but its not portable or something.
Modified code below.
Thanks!
