For the requested VisiCut feature (t-oster/VisiCut#176), I need the LAOS to not go to the rest position after finishing a job.
I could add a "move-to 0,0" at the end of a job in software, if I wanted it, so I don't think removing that will cause any harm.
The only difference is, that the "rest-position" in the configfile won't have any use anymore.
What do you think? Do you need the hardware-rest feature?

If we can replicate the functionality in VisiCut I would be fine with removing it. It's nice to have it more to a rest position closer to where you usually work because that saves a lot of time. Usually you'll lasercut top left, while endstops are usually top right.
It's also good to have it not tough the endstops between jobs, because the switch moment might vary slightly.

Rest position should be configured in machine.
The machine should ba able to move to this position by itself.
However: A "direct mode" can be made, that does not go to the end pos after each job.
t.b.d.

OK. Variant one:

  • go to rest only on "indirect jobs", meaning files with usual lgc file-ending. Direct jobs (e.g. "lgcd"-file endings do not go to rest until the file contains a special simplecode command to go to rest
  • don't distinguish direct and indirect mode in this case. Either the file contains a go-to-rest-Simplecode command or not.

Although the second one will make all old laos-software result in not going to rest, I think it is the more cleaner one, since for the direct-mode a go-to-rest command is needed anyway.
