Hi,

I'm pretty sure somebody must have come with a solution for this basic task.

I want to paste a screenshot while in org-capture buffer.

However, org-download takes saves the screenshot image in a (already
existing otherwise created) folder with the same name as the buffer the
org-capture will save the text into.

However, org-capture buffers are indirect buffers, so the buffer-file-name
is nil, so it fails.

How is it possible to tell Emacs to get this info from the org-capture
buffer rule itself? How to get this path and save the images while in the
org-capture indirect buffer?

The other solution is just to capture, and then open it and paste the
image, but that defeats the purpose of the org-capture buffer itself.

Thanks so much in advance,

A.

Org sources are full of

     (buffer-file-name (buffer-base-buffer))

expressions. Unfortunately there are enough bugs due to direct usage of 
`buffer-file-name' as well.

You might be interested in org-attach as an alternative (I do not have a 
ready to use recipe for your particular task), but recently added 
`org--confirm-resource-safe' is affected by this kind of bugs.

May you elaborate?
`org--confirm-resource-safe' uses variable, not a function.

I called `org-tree-to-inderect-buffer', switched to the created buffer 
and tried to evaluate value of the `buffer-file-name' variable. At least 
in Emacs-26.3 I get nil. I suppose, it is the reason why 
(buffer-file-name (buffer-base-buffer)) composition is used instead of 
the variable in other expressions.
