This extension facilitates moving images from point A to point B.

Point A (the source) can be:

An image inside your browser that you can drag to Emacs.
An image on your file system that you can drag to Emacs.
A local or remote image address in kill-ring. Use the org-download-yank command for this. Remember that you can use “0 w” in dired to get an address.
An screenshot taken using gnome-screenshot or scrot or gm. Use the org-download-screenshot command for this. Customize the backend with org-download-screenshot-method.

Point B (the target) is an Emacs org-mode buffer where the inline link will be inserted. Several customization options will determine where exactly on the file system the file will be stored.

They are: org-download-method:

'attach ⇒ use org-mode attachment machinery
'directory ⇒ construct the directory in two stages:
first part of the folder name is:
- either “.” (current folder)
- or org-download-image-dir (if it's not nil).
  
  org-download-image-dir becomes buffer-local when set, so each file can customize this value, e.g with:
```
    -*- mode: Org; org-download-image-dir: "~/Pictures/foo"; -*-
```
  To set it for all files at once, use this:
```
    (setq-default org-download-image-dir "~/Pictures/foo")
```
second part is:
- org-download-heading-lvl is nil ⇒ ""
- org-download-heading-lvl is n ⇒ the name of current heading with level n.
  
  Level count starts with 0, i.e. * is 0, ** is 1, *** is 2 etc. org-download-heading-lvl becomes buffer-local when set, so each file can customize this value, e.g with:
```
    -*- mode: Org; org-download-heading-lvl: nil; -*-
```

org-download-timestamp: optionally add a timestamp to the file name.

Customize org-download-backend to choose between url-retrieve (the default) or wget or curl.
