Re: [O] insert picture feature request.

+1 for windows support.

I would also need such a image copy tool under windows.

A way to capture an image and have it referenced/included in an org file
with a simple keychord would be most welcome.

What most of my colleagues - non Emacs users - do is open MS Word,
paste some captured images and write some simple comments.
No need to copy, save and link to an image.
A documentation including some screenshots is done in a snap.

For me this is one of the things I miss a lot while living in Org.
Anybody knows about a comparable tool to Imagemagick "import" under Windows?

===============================================================================

OK - I searched a bit and found this, which works on command line: (see 
http://www.irfanview.de)


Example for /capture:
i_view32.exe /capture=0
Capture the whole screen.
i_view32.exe /capture=6
Start in Capture mode, use last used capture dialog settings.

capture values:
0 = whole screen
1 = current monitor, where mouse is located
2 = foreground window
3 = foreground window - client area
4 = rectangle selection
5 = object selected with the mouse
6 = start in capture mode (can't be combined with other commandline options)

Advanced examples:
i_view32.exe /capture=2 /convert=c:\test.jpg
Capture foreground window and save result as file.
i_view32.exe /capture=2 /convert=c:\capture_$U(%d%m%Y_%H%M%S).jpg
Capture foreground window and save result as file; the file name contains time 
stamp.
===============================================================================

I will try this in my Org environment.
