It seems after all that there are other people using the -isilox or -misilox formats.
I was using -misilo for a couple of years (it uses the old isiloc instead of isiloXC) before switching to get the power of the latest isiloXC versions.
One problem with using -isilox is that the tags for the .ixl file that isiloxc uses are hard coded in sitescooper.
I recently worked on a fix for this - that lets you use your own .ixl file generated by the isiloX gui tool as a sort of template for sitescooper. Basically, if you want to change the image format options or category or so, you can simply create an ixl file and point to it with a tag in the .cf file.
I posted this fix to the mailing list but noone has checked it in yet as far as I know.
If there are any cvs-privileged sitescooper users out there - let me know if I should post this fix again.

(Actually I'm thinking of switching to Plucker since it seems to be as good as iSilo now, and I dont want to pay for the upgrade to Isilo 4 - but I havent quite made the switch yet)
