Max,

I use this for all screenshots. This inserts a link named by buffer
with a timestamp appended using the Imagemagick import utility, where
I can just click a window or drag an area.

(defun 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 filename (concat (make-temp-name (concat (buffer-file-name) "_" (format-time-string "%Y%m%d_%H%M%S_")) ) ".png"))
  (call-process "import" nil nil nil filename)
  (insert (concat "[[" filename "]]")))

What advantages would org-screenshot provide by comparison?

Thanks.
