Krita sketches in Org

org-krita

Minor mode for working with krita notes, sketches etc. in org mode.

Quickstart

The package is not on melpa yet. For installing, I would recommend downloading the release tarballs from here. Or if you are using quelpa-use-package, you can do the following:

(use-package org-krita
  :ensure t
  :quelpa (org-krita :fetcher github :repo "lepisma/org-krita" :files ("*.el" "resources"))
  :config
  (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'org-krita-mode))

org-krita creates a new org link type called krita that:

• when clicked on, opens krita for editing the file linked, and
• shows the updated image preview inline if org-krita-mode is enabled.

For using, you need to enable the minor mode org-krita-mode in org buffer with krita links like this [[krita:./some-file.kra][image]]. To create new files within the buffer itself, try calling org-krita-insert-new-image.

Roadmap

Here are the directions that need work (as far as I can think of right now):

1. Making the package tool agnostic. This basically means abstracting out the following pieces that are tuned to krita at the moment:
   1. Function for creating new image in the tool’s format.
   2. Function for extracting png from the file for inline display.
   3. Function for running the program to edit an image.
2. Better inline display. Right now we bypass org’s inline display which means we miss out on basic things like setting width and height for larger images and other goodies.
