Portable way to insert and display images in an org entry ?

Portable way to insert and display images in an org entry ?

[Xavier]

Hello,

I use org-mode on many different OS (cygwin, OSX, GNU/linux), as such, I
have problems when I want to include a link of the 'file:' family.

Last example, I wanted to include a picture from my Dropbox into my org
file which is ok. But, C-c C-x C-v can't do anything good on my cygwin
installation since the link is:

[[file:Captures d'écran/20150421-SOAINFRA-saturation.png][Illustration
de la saturation du TBS I7_SOAINFRA_AA_DATA01]]

What can be a good alternative ? Add my file as an attachment and link
from it ? (is it even possible ?)

Regards

If you want to try that last idea, the syntax for the link is:

[[att:20150421-SOAINFRA-saturation.png]]

Can't you avoid the space in "Capture d'écran" (and maybe the accent as
well)?

Best regards,
