Hi Oleh, Thanks for the detailed instruction. I just checked following your advice, by copying the address of the image (and by looking at the browser-ring, I can make sure the address has been there), then M-x org-download-yank, returns error: "if: Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil".
Also I tried (org-download-yank "the-address-to-the-image"), which does not work either. Do you have any insight? Thanks.
