Hi Tim. Glad you like the update. Here are the additions we made to the GCode post for testing. As with any change to a post-processor, please check the output after making the change to ensure that the post is behaving as you would expect.
If anyone is running a FAGOR controller, you may or may not know that the "Z" will need to be inserted after the incremental "J".
If you try to run it as X Y Z I J you will get an "incomplete coordinates" error.
The order of your posted code should look something like this: G02 X20.5000 Y7.1875 I-3.6875 J0.0000 Z-.750 F250
I'm not sure about other controllers, but this is how it will need to be written to post out correctly for a FAGOR.
See "Z" changes below.

By that I presume you mean the "PostP" folder. If so, the migration utility would not only overwrite the one that you modified but every other one that they have modified (wiping out any fixes they might have needed to make). They'd then have people complaining about errors they've already fixed.
I use the "My_PostP" folder to store my updated versions of the post processor I use. That migrates with no problems.
Downloaded v9.5 today. Went through the video. Where is the new picture editor? Can't find anything new as described for that and it's mentioned in the video but no description of it at all. Tried to trace a new bitmap but the same v8.5 controls there? What am I missing? Thanks.
Trouble with the 9.508 Aspire update. After a certain point the installer pops up a window claiming "Can't delete aspire.exe.", then after I click OK on that window it does a rollback procedure and I'm left with Aspire 9.507. I've done this update with no problems earlier today on my home PC. This is on my office PC at K-State.
I don't check for updates every time I use Aspire, so I didn't know about 9.057 and 9.058, but after reading your post, I just did the update with no problems.

Any clues?
Make sure that Aspire is not running. You need to close it before installing the patch.

Done that. Didn't matter. The error message more specifically is: Cannot delete target file: C:\Program Files\Aspire9.5\x64\Aspire.exe Aspire is not running when this pops up.
I thought my antivirus software might be interfering, and so I temporarily terminated it. Tried the update again and it succeeded. So for the moment at least my problem is solved.

It should display in the title bar on the right hand side that an update is available so there's no need to manually check.

I knew that, but it needs to be bigger and bolder text, and maybe Red instead of light blue, so it's easier to spot. Or maybe I should clean my glasses more often .
I definitely get the glasses thing.... Would be nice if the update came up on a splash screen when you started the software. But that wouldn't help much if you are not online for an extended period.
I actually did not know 9.508 was out until last night when I seen it on the forum.
