This will be taken under consideration for a future version. The existing scheduling options are frozen for this version's release.

Ok, I did my morning experiment. I let the scheduled download go on in the background.
And it didn't happen.
I'm using Windows ME. Let me know what other info will be helpful to you.

There is a preliminary new update to the beta that changes the way iSiloX schedules itself with the Windows Task Scheduler. I have been unable to determine why Windows Task Scheduler seems to sometimes miss running a scheduled task that is scheduled once even though the computer is on. So in this preliminary new update to the beta, iSiloX sets up a schedule that is set to run every minute from the next scheduled conversion time. This way, if the scheduled time was missed by Windows Task Scheduler for whatever reason, even if the computer was off, the Windows Task Scheduler will still run the task at the next available minute.
Please give it a try if you can and report if you still seem to encounter the missed scheduled conversions. The download URL is:

iSilo - I am experiencing the same thing as sUnShInE; while my scheduled tasks seem to be running fine, about 20-30 seconds after I open up iSiloX it will pop-up the scheduled task run box - even if it has just run, and it is nowhere near a scheduled activity. This happens only if the .ixl that is opened originally contains scheduled tasks.
Also, if I open with an .ixl with scheduled tasks, then switch to a new .ixl, it will still put up the box, but the task won't actually run.
Hope this helps.

The only reason why this might happen is if the scheduled task was still running. At the end of the scheduled task, iSiloX updates the last conversion times of the .ixl file and saves it. If you open up iSiloX with that .ixl file before the save completes, then the last conversion times in the .ixl file will be the old ones and iSiloX will think that the conversions did not happen, and thus popup the box.
