Hi Jon,

We use simplestreams to download the images. When you clear the selections, we also clear the selections told to simplestreams, but simplestreams, by default, downloads all images, which is what's causing your issue.

@Scott:

Is there a way to tell simplestreams to not import anything if no selections are provided? Or should we differntiate between 'all' and 'none' or is there a way to tell simplestreams 'none' ?
