Nice catch, that is it exactly. In looking at the the source, the default when reading from config, seem to be "None". That seems to mean if the plucker.ini/.pluckerrc doesn't specify a certain alt_maxwidth and alt_maxheight, then it is impossible to get any alternate renditions. This may have explained some of the unsolved cases of people using just manual editing of the file and command-line tools being unable to retrieve any images. The current situation of "None" won't work, I don't think, because if a section of the plucker.ini/.pluckerrc says a alt_maxwidth= to try to say don't include any alternate renditions, this won't work. Because instead, it will go up the heirarchy and use the values from alt_maxwidth from [DEFAULT] section. There needs to be a value, like a "0" in the section, such that a channel section can override the [DEFAULT] section. I agree with Tony though, a discussion of what shold be done is a good idea before actually changing it.
