Looks like the Win labels/dropdowns are correct. Will give it a more thorough testing when I get home.

Great job on getting the updates out quickly!

I didn't see this mentioned on the HMI Wiki page, but just an FYI, the URL for your custom background image needs to be 64 characters or less. I created a test one and hosted it on photobucket and it worked great (exactly 64 characters). I then did some tweaking and uploaded a new background but it was 65 characters. It would load in the HMI builder and let me set the widgets, but as soon as I switched to the Main Control page I'd get an edit that the pic had been moved or deleted. I checked the link in the HMI builder and it had truncated the last character. So just a helpful tip for anyone who is having problems with long URL's

I hope this isn't a dumb question but before I update I was wondering. Is this firmware for the BCS-462 as well? All examples seem to be the 460?

Thanks

Yes, the file is always the same for both the 460 & 462.

EDIT: oops, moved it to the BCS in Action forum:

Could a future firmware update include saving the HMI Background
Image Path to the syscfg file or as another system save option?

[ECC]

Its in there, just not documented in the API yet. It has an entry in the syscfg file.
