I have been using the Plucker viewer with Plucker Desktop for well over a year now, and I just discovered Sunrise. Excellent tool! I moved most of my regular clippings from Plucker Desktop to Sunrise, and I am quite pleased with the rendering improvements (both speed and quality).

However, after I started trying to add RSS feeds, which was a major motivation for the switch, I am finding that the Plucker documents that Sunrise generates don't contain ANY of the items from the feeds. I get less than 1K of header information from the feed, but no items. I have tried increasing link depth, but that doesn't help. I upgraded to plucker viewer 1.8, but it seems clear from the size of the files that this issue is somewhere in Sunrise (probably my failure to configure it properly) -- the data just isn't making it into the Plucker document. Is some scripting or XSL required to get RSS to render? The documentation talks about scripting, but doesn't seem to address configuration issues specifically related to RSS.

please advise (and Thanks in advance)

Once I get this working, I'll follow up with a feature request - podcast support...
