image_paste

My Operating system is Lubuntu 14.04 (currently). The default screenshot application is called scrot. When you use the keyboard shortcut, scrot silently deposits the screenshot image in ~/home. Unfortunately, it does not put a copy in the clipboard.

For the Dokuwiki imagepaste plugin to work, the image must be in the clipboard.

I installed gnome screenshot using the package manager, when you take a screenshot with gnome-screenshot, you get the option to copy to clipboard.

After installation, screenshot appears in the menu under Accessories.

Dokuwiki imagepaste plugin only works with the chrome browser, see the installation page:-

https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:imgpaste#installation

Save screenshot to clipboard, then CTRL+V to paste into a dokuwiki page opened for editing.
