Hi,

I submitted the following Feature Request in the orgmode list [1]. They 
said that the second part related to "limitting image types that can be 
inserted" should be done in the core emacs side.

In that same thread [1], Ihor proposed different ways to implement it 
[2], I also took how it explained the feature as part of this email-subject.

The thing is that with orgmode we can easily attach images to buffer 
thanks to `yank-media' feature, but there is a dialogue we cannot skip 
and that is: selecting image types. Find attached an image file 
"selecting-image-types.png", where you can see the 7 candidates for a 
screenshot I did to serve as an example.

1. In case I want to be fast, I would like to skip that dialog entirely 
and just use the image/png variant.
2. In another perspective, I would consider that the relevant decision 
for a screenshot would be between two of them: image/png and image/jpeg
3. Another user could argue why the other 5 types are interesting in 
general or for their particular use case...

... but let's stop that discussion here. Looks like filtering image 
types would be a useful customization for the users. If done as a 
variable, in certain cases, that could be local binded and specific to 
some fast function that immediately inserts an image, and in another 
case, the global var would select only those image types relevant for 
that particular user.

That is also positive if users want to add even more image types, with a 
good and reasonable default, users will not worry about too many options 
at some point.

Thanks for your attention,
pinmacs
