What's this?

It's an Emacs extension, using it you can just use one key to save clipboard image to disk file, and at the same time insert the file link(org-mode/markdown-mode) or file path(other mode) to current point.

Here is a usage demo:

Based on PasteEx, only support Windows.

Prerequisite

Windows: Install PasteEx
Macoss: Install Pngpaste

Installation

Put pasteex-mode.el to your load-path. The load-path is usually ~/elisp/. It's set in your ~/.emacs file like this:

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/elisp"))
(require 'pasteex-mode)

Basic Usage

Windows: Add PasteEx.exe executable to environment PATH, or set the variable pasteex-executable-path in your config file, like this:

(setq pasteex-executable-path "D:/program/PasteEx/PasteEx.exe")

Bind your favorite key to function pasteex-image, like this:

(global-set-key (kbd "C-x p i") 'pasteex-image)

After you make a screenshot to clipboard, or copy a PNG image file to clipboard, then just press C-x p i shortcut, and the file link or path will be inserted to your buffer immediately, the screenshot image file is saved to ./{buffername}_imgs/ directory by default.

Feature List

Support these functions:

pasteex-image: Save clipboard image to disk file, and insert file path to current point.
pasteex-delete-img-link-and-file-at-line: Delete image link at line, and delete related disk file at the same time.
pasteex-is-png-file: Check a file is png file or not.

Tips

Only support Windows, because PasteEx only support Windows now.
That's all, enjoy it :)
