hello,
i would like to extend the auto screenshot method described here:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/33770
first: a way in which i can be prompted to enter a filename instead of
having a random string
second: a timestamp be appended after i have entered the filename
third: to specify somehow, the dimensions of the bounding box of the screenshot
how can this be done?
thanks,
a

Starting from the revised version of the function,[1] here’s how I’d
implement the first two changes:
,----
| (defun org-screenshot ()
| "Prompt for a filename, add a timestamp, take a screenshot into
that file and insert a link to this file."
| (interactive)
| (setq filename
| (concat (read-string "Save screenshot as (timestamp and
extension will be appended): " (buffer-file-name))
| "_"
| (format-time-string "%Y%m%d_%H%M%S")
| ".png"))
| (call-process "import" nil nil nil filename)
| (insert (concat "[[" filename "]]"))
| (org-display-inline-images))
`----
I don’t have the ‘import’ utility so I can’t help there. It can
probably take arguments to denote the bounding box; have a look at the
documentation for both ‘import’ and ‘call-process’.
