Hello,

I often need to paste fragments of pictures/images to my org file.

Typically, I manually paste the fragment to a file, and then use C-c C-a =
m to attach that file to my org-file.
This is rather tedious, because there are a few steps and extra programs =
involved, and I guess there must be a better way to do this.

What I want is that emacs/orgmode understands the contents of the =
clipboard and creates that file for me.
For instance, if it detects that the contents of the clipboard is an =
image or some sort of non-text format, emacs would dump the  clipboard =
data to a file, auto-generate a filename, guessing the data type, and =
attach that file to my org-file via org-attach-attach.

I'm thinking of a org-attach-clipboard sort of command, accessible via =
the C-c C-a (org-attach) menu.

Perhaps I'm demanding too much from emacs and org-mode, but hey,  =
couldn't it be done? It would be a cool feature...
More important, _hasn't_ this been done already?

Regards,
Carlos=
