       (org-display-inline-images)))  

   ;;

   (global-set-key (kbd "C-c p") 'paste-clipboard-to-file)

there are still some question i have. the little function seems to work and i do get an inline image inside org bit it seems to me it only work on the current window/workspace, is that correct? how can i modify it catch a screenshot from a web browser, PDF, other workspace etc?

-also can one insert a delete mechanism for files deleted from the inline buffer (with a confirmation ofc). the reason i ask is because alot of the times the first 'take' isnt correct and that leaves alot of junk in these folders that are hard to trace manually

best wishes and thank you all for your help 

best
