I have a tricky problem, still unsolved:
I would like to get a weather satellite image to plucker. The problem is that the image name suffix changes hourly. The valid name can be derrived from the current time: eg. suffix _1200.jpg is for 12:00. What I would like to achieve is the following: each time I sync, I would like to retrieve the most recent image and put it to always the same plucker document . Is there a way to do this?
(addidtional problem: the image from the above example, _1200.jpg, is usually refreshed at around 12:10).

Thanks for your help
