In fact, I've been able to drag and drop image files from KDE's file manager (dolphin?) into emacs and make them custom links. .emacs: (defun dnd-from-kde (url action) (insert url) (select-frame-set-input-focus (selected-frame))) (custom-set-variables '(dnd-protocol-alist (quote (("file:///" . dnd-from-kde))))) This ought to give you a place to start. The URL format may need to change to make it an Org link, I was using file:// for another text format. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Russell Adams RLAdams@AdamsInfoServ.com PGP Key ID: 0x1160DCB3 http://www.adamsinfoserv.com/ Fingerprint: 1723 D8CA 4280 1EC9 557F 66E8 1154 E018 1160 DCB3
