No, org mode is text based; however what you can do is link to an image, and then when you publish the org mode file as html, or pdf or whatever it will get interpolate and appear as though it had been pasted in. At least that has been my experience a more seasoned orger can correct my ignorance if I do err.

  Org mode supports inline images. See more here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27129338/inline-images-in-org-mode#27129648 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27129338/inline-images-i...

If you use it on Windows and have Itfanview installed, here's is how you can do it to copy paste images from clipboard using C-c-s (defun my-org-screenshot () "Take a screenshot into a time stamped unique-named file in the same directory as the org-buffer and insert a link to this file." (interactive) (setq screenshot_dir ".\\images\\") (setq tilde-buffer-filename (replace-regexp-in-string "/" "\\" (buffer-name) t t)) (setq filename (concat (make-temp-name (concat screenshot_dir tilde-buffer-filename ;; attempt to make irfanview approach work "_" (format-time-string "%Y%m%d_%H%M%S_")) ) ".png")) (insert (concat "[[file:" filename "]]")) (org-display-inline-images)) (global-set-key "\C-cs" 'my-org-screenshot)

  Could you indent your Lisp by four spaces for formatting? (Like this)

    On HN you only indent two spaces to turn on monospace. Here is the lisp with formatting: (defun my-org-screenshot () "Take a screenshot into a time stamped unique-named file in the same directory as the org-buffer and insert a link to this file." (interactive) (setq screenshot_dir ".\\images\\") (setq tilde-buffer-filename (replace-regexp-in-string "/" "\\" (buffer-name) t t)) (setq filename (concat (make-temp-name (concat screenshot_dir tilde-buffer-filename ;; attempt to make irfanview approach work "_" (format-time-string "%Y%m%d_%H%M%S_"))) ".png")) (insert (concat "[[file:" filename "]]")) (org-display-inline-images))

  Did you mean Irfanview? Thanks for the tip. Mostly emacsing via X, but good to know.

Yes, with the org-download module (https://github.com/abo-abo/org-download https://github.com/abo-abo/org-download). I have some additional configuration to paste a screenshot (asking for a filename) using a keybinding.
