There was a feature in IsiloWeb which (while converting HTML file) allowed title to be extracted from HTML <title> tags and assigned to the document. Can I still do it with ISiloX?

The problem is that when I download and convert an HTML document from the internet (by dragging URL onto IsiloX work surface), I get a document name same as URL, and when saving 20-30 documents, renaming them manually before downloading is not an option.

Any suggestions?

iSiloX does not support a feature like you describe.

The closest you are going to get is the iSiloX clipper (supported only on Internet Explorer for Microsoft Windows) which will initialize the title field using the document's title.

How can we suggest this feature to the author? It is easy to implement (in fact it is implemented in clipper) and is very handy to have.

The authors will see your request in this forum (they read all of them). I suppose the more official channel would be the iSiloX (http://forum.isilo.com/forumdisplay.php?f=54) or iSiloXC (http://forum.isilo.com/forumdisplay.php?f=55) Requests and Suggestions forum.
