Cool. Can you make this a bit portable. On Mac OSX, the utility is called screencapture, and can be run with the same flags. Here is a piece of code that was published earlier with a sample use. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/69221/focus=69272 ,---- | #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp | (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/sbin/screencapture -s " fname)) | (insert "\n[[file:" fname "]]") | (org-display-inline-images))) | ;; | (global-set-key (kbd "C-c p") 'paste-clipboard-to-file) | | #+END_SRC `---- Regards, -- Haider
