A new beta is up:

https://www.sheetcam.com/Downloads/akp3 ... V6.9.5.exe
Comments in rule code snippets are now output in g-code
Edit contours now allows you to move/copy contours to other parts.
Added option for square corners when milling/routing contours (cut path tab).
Changed: Operations window is now available in nesting mode. It is only disabled if multiple parts are selected.

If noone finds any major issues, this will become the next dev release.

I haven't used shortcuts before but I did try it now and I found two problems.

The shortcut for post processing doesn't work. Not the default Ctrl+P and not if I change it to an other.

If I set the same shortcut on a second command SheetCam asks if I want to remove it from the old command. But it isn't visually removed from shortcut list until reopen preferences. And it still visible on the menu item until restart.

Great. Is it possible to do for action point code snippets too?

I can't replicate that one. Could you create a support file (Help->create a support file) and send it to me.

Yes. That is a known problem. I can probably fix the shortcut list but the menus could be more tricky.

I'll add that to the next release.

Thanks for testing it. Does this happen every time?

Couldn't create a support file. The files list is empty. This works in the development version 6.1.74

Are you using SheetCam on a Mac? If so are you using WineBottler?

How are you running SheetCam on your Mac? Looking at the logs, there seems to be somethign odd going on with the way temporary files are handled. I also suspect the keyboard shortcuts issues are also Mac related.

I'm using Wine but not WineBottler. I will try to investigate further to night. The support file command works in the developer version but not in beta. Not in a clean install with removed settings folder either.

I haven't changed anything in the support file code so I guess there is something different in the way wxWidgets3 handles this. I will investigate further.
