The compression fails because there are too many colors in the bitmap. I just don't catch the error message of the converter (a console application). And that's not "most of them", rather "a few". Nothing I can to about that unless I use dithering algorithms which would make the bitmaps look bad. BTW, iGo loads uncompressed bitmaps just fine.
As for main.ui, that's inside data.zip, as far as I can tell, not inside the skin .zip file. iGoSkinWizard includes, since version 0.4, functionality to replace the paths inside .ui files. However, you should use the large data.zip provided with the latest versions, it has many resolutions already "converted". If you have a skin with its own main.ui (something I haven't seen yet), send it over and I'll take a look.
Not sure what to say about the out of memory error, don't know enough to answer that question.


For bitmap conversions: Did you tried IrfanView?
It has options to resize and modify color depth even in command mode.
I use to try parameters in window mode before make Irfan process them in command mode.
As for out of memory errors most of them are frequently for devices with 64 MB RAM and large landmark or terrain files (which stores altitudes), but terrain files could change their format too, but I'm not sure (it's just a supposition). A solution for Israel is founded here.

But …

Well, I don't think IrfanView knows how to open iGo's RLE bitmaps, and that's where the problem is: bitmaps with more than 256 colors can't be converted to that format. I'm working on offering a dithering option to compress them anyway, but it's giving me some troubles and I got other things to work on.

Please dont misunderstand me. i didnt said anything wrong about your work. I am really amazed. you did something that no one did till now. Great work :) . About the memory error it´s solved. i solved that problems unzipping the data.zip, then i uncrompressed the bmp files with Ipaq31x in batch mode, zipped again the Data.zip. Then i did all the process normaly with your program, and before the compression mode, i went to the temp file, and compressed the bmp files with ipaq31x again. it solved all the out of memory problems. Now everything work just perfect.

@miruim: No worries, and keep the feedback coming.
I'm not sure what you mean by iPaq31x, is that some bitmap conversion tool?

About uploadjockey: it's the easiest to use, just skip it next time.
@arkoko: Thanks for the mirror.
@SmartAsm: What is it with Italians naming their software in such a way that nobody hears about it ;)? I looked at it, it seems like it does something a bit different: it also inserts whole script parts for some specific functionality.
@miruim: I did know about it, just didn't make the connection. I wrote the author asking if he'll share the RLE conversion algorithms. In the meantime, I got a workaround for bitmaps with more than 250 colors.

ChangeLog:
- fixed issues with script processor locking on errors (Gurjon skin)
- added choice of script and bitmap editors (remembered)
- several bugfixes and GUI improvements

Note: the Gurjon skin has several syntax "errors" that iGoSkinWizard now signals, but does not fix or convert. So, if you see something like:
Code: Select all<BUTTON btnRemViaPoint   template=btn_plan x=121text="Rem Via"
correct to:
Code: Select all<BUTTON btnRemViaPoint   template=btn_plan x=121 text="Rem Via"

and replace this:
Code: Select alliconalign="LEFT+"
with this:
Code: Select alliconalign="LEFT"

in your "before" script. Just click on the error log and it will show you the file and line with the error, then edit the "before" file in an external editor and press "Process" again.

I hope the Gurjon skin authors fix these in future releases: while iGo doesn't complain, it makes everyone else's work a lot easier.
