Using org-download package in WSL
, when I was setting up building development notes website with
Emacs, I wanted to use org-download package and it's functionalities. I
later realized, that as long as I am on WSL, this won't work out of the box for
me.
Simply documenting what I have found below.
Package itself - https://github.com/abo-abo/org-download Great demo by the author of the package - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAojpHR-6Uo&ab_channel=abo-abo
since I am on wsl and not ubuntu, but nixos, there seems not to be a software
that can take those screenshots. The tool for that is mentioned in
org-download-screenshot-method. Will try to install scrot.
After installing scrot and xclicp on my nixos WSL distro, I still was not
able to make the package work.
This could be a potential workaround - https://github.com/abo-abo/org-download/issues/178.
I think I will live without it.
