I downloaded/installed the latest Plucker Desktop last night... Two new 
issues, neither of which should be Desktop related.

First off, it now runs sites slower.  Switching from "Breadth First" to 
"Depth First" sped things back up a bit, but it still seems a lot slower.

It especially slows down as the number of documents or of expected total 
documents piles up.  (i.e. it's decent for items 2-5, terrible for 50-55.)

Another strange effect... Breadth First gets the expected file count up to 
over 500 in very little time.  Depth First takes a lot longer to create a 
high expected-total count.  (Maybe that's why it's faster.)  At the higher 
counts (>100), some links take a full minute to "parse" (without grabbing 
images), others still nip along nearly instantly.

The Second Issue is an inability to parse graphics....

I'm getting this with all GIFs, regardless of image parser.

The only changes I know of have been the upgrade of Desktop.
