Does this plugin exist?

Features

I do often paste a simple (part of a) screen shot into a note, and find myself wanting to put a line into this 'picture', as a highlight. I have been searching the existing plugins for a simple editor able to do this. Does it exist and I missed it ?

Would really appreciate if somebody had a quick response, a note that something like this exists, that it doesn't, or even why it cannot be done. Thanks and a
Happy New Year to all, in particular all the contributors and devs.

No, not that I know of.

Well, I am not sure what "put a line into this 'picture' as a highlight" means exactly. When I put a screen shot into a note I usually put a caption above it like this (this is an actual example from my Joplin):

The following overview is from Google AI:

So it's not a plugin, just using standard Joplin Markdown, and the line is not "in" the picture, it is above it. So if this isn't what you were looking for, sorry, just ignore it.

If you actually want to embed some text into the picture itself, I'm not aware of any plugin to do this. However, this is a common capability of just about any image editor. For easy stuff like this, I use Paint.net. On Linux, there's Pinta.

@personalizedrefriger has a Freehand Drawing plugin (js-draw) that supports importing images (also from clipboard), and drawing on them. It is bundled in v3.2.5 and can be downloaded from the plugin marketplace in earlier versions of the app. Is this what you're after?

Appreciate your response. Here is what I mean, let's say the picture

  • has a drawing : I circle part of that drawing
  • or it has some text : I underline an important part of the text or a specific word
    etc.

I know image editors can do it, but this requires a few extra (slow) steps.

Yes, that's it. But how it works - with an existing pic - beats me.
It works fine creating a new sketch etc and insert it into the current note.
Any help what I am missing ?

For me the following seems to work:

From clipboard

  1. Copy something to clipboard.
  2. Click on the Insert drawing toolbar button to open the drawing board:

  3. Paste from clipboard onto the drawing board (Ctrl+V).

From file

  1. Click on the Insert drawing toolbar button to open the drawing board:
    image

  2. Click on the Image toolbar button:
    image
    image142×176 2.14 KB
  3. Click on Browse and select an image (or drag & drop one).
  4. Click on Submit to add it to the drawing board.

Or use a Screenshot Tool like ShareX, Greenshot, ... you can write comments directly in the screenshot and dozens of other things and then paste them into Joplin or some where else.
