   Ah, that's the last thing† I've got to look at on my system.  I assumed the 
'green' icons where indicative of a basic failure as opposed to an incorrect 
extraction.  Not looked at it yet, but glad to know I'm not alone!

   I got the same static greenies when trying to get animated thumbs.


† - not strictly true;  main 'main menu' seems to always be shorter than it 
ought to be (sometimes loops after only a few seconds).
