I've installed the new beta and given it a whirl with a map. The image quality and file size are pretty much identical to HandStory, but the functionality is less good (unless I'm missing a trick or two):

a) In HS, you can right click within an image on a webpage to convert the image. In iSilo I had to save the image as a file on my computer, then drag the file from Windows Explorer into the iSilo window - more complicated.

b) In HS, you can crop the image and choose different zoom levels. Can you do the same in iSilo?

c) When you view the map in HS, it fills the entire screen and you can easily move backwards and forwards through your list of image files by using the arrows on the screen.

So, for the time being iSilo gets a thumbs down for clipping images, compared to HS.

BasilC, don't forget that you can mount the memory stick on your desktop, and then simply drag the iSilo converted files into your PDA. I couldn't do this with HandStory, because when I went to find the files, which should have been in the installer, they would not appear.
I don't understand why this happens with you. My HS files go into the Install folder and I use MS Import to move them to the MS. The problem for me arises when I first want to view those files, it takes too long to update the file list (I think that this might be a T615/625 problem - I understand that the MS works much faster with the T665/675 and presumably the faster processor helps too)
