Do I have to create a ixs-file for use with iSiloXC from scratch, or is it possible to export my settings in iSiloX to an ixs-file?

Best regards,

Well, Anders, you finally stumped me! I don't use iSiloXC, so can't say. Hopefully someone else will jump in here and let you know.

Cheers,

Hey Anders,

To be honest, I've never tried to export my iSiloX settings nor create a .ixs file. So I quickly had a look at http://www.isilox.com/support/manual/ixs/ixs.htm . I don't think there is an option to automatically export the settings to an .ixs file, but it seems fairly easy to manually create one following the given instruction.

Is it possible to use iSiloXC without an ixs-file?

See the iSiloXC Manual here (http://www.isilox.com/support/manual/iSiloXC/iSiloXC.htm). The page gives you some examples of how to use the console version of iSiloX:

Examples
When running iSiloXC from a command-line prompt to convert a given set of files in a .ixl file, you will generally use a command line similar to the following:
iSiloXC -x MyDocumentList.ixl -v

In the above command line, MyDocumentList.ixl is assumed to be the file name of a conversion list file in the current directory. Specifying -v allows you to get a good idea of the conversion progress as it goes along.

If you use a scheduler to schedule iSiloXC, you may want to have iSiloXC update the last conversion status. Under Windows, you might provide to the Windows scheduler a command line similar to the following:

"C:\Program Files\iSilo\iSiloX\iSiloXC.exe" -x "C:\My Documents\iSiloWWW.ixl" -u

The double quotes around the path to the executable and the path to the conversion list file are necessary because both paths have spaces.
To simply open a .ixl file within iSiloX, specify the path to the .ixl file as the single command line argument:

iSiloXC MyDocumentList.ixl



It also tells you how to load a .ixs file, in case you need specific settings.
