Re: [O] Help, I need to paste raw image from clipboard into emacs/orgmod

(defun my-org-insert-clipboard ()
  (interactive)
  (let* ((image-file "clipboard.png")
(exit-status 
 (call-process "convert" nil nil nil 
"clipboard:" image-file)))
    (org-insert-link nil (concat "file:" image-file) "")
    (org-display-inline-images)))

That works for me (Emacs 24.3, Windows 7) though for practical use some more edge case handling ("don't insert on failure", "different name if file exists") will be wanted. 

kind regards, Klaus

Thanks for the tip. Do you have an elisp piece that handles the image
insertion into org buffers?

Thanks,
