adding images in org

adding images in org

[Aditya Mandayam]

Hi after reading this:

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/25134

I am still unclear. How do I link to an image online like this:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7c/Bundesarchiv_DVM_10_Bild-23-61-11%2C_Gro%C3%9Fer_Kreuzer_%22SMS_Bl%C3%BCcher%22.jpg

and have it show up in org? C-c C-x C-v gives me "No images to display inline"

I don't think you can inline remote images. The post you link to refers
only to locally available images.

Hmm, then is there any method in Org to auto-download the image, and then
inline it?

Or in other words, do attachments have to be locally available, or will a URL
work to attach something?

I doubt so and for a good reason: it opens the door for potential
security problems.  

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog; and nobody knows if a
picture of a dog is really a picture.

Thanks, that's what I needed to know!    :-)
