When I reverted your change, I mentioned it on the irc channel, and explained why in the commit log. Sorry you did not see it. Here is the log message I left: http://cvs.linuxcnc.org/cvs/emc2/share/axis/images/axis.ngc?rev=1.7 I never had a problem with moving the splash screen, but I do think doing it with G92 is a bad idea. This is for two reasons: (1) If a user aborts the splash screen run, he will have offsets remaining that are confusing, and (2) if a user jogs before running it, it will not run at the location the preview is showing. I think both of these would be quite baffling to a new user, the one you are trying to help. I like the current solution much better. I think it accomplishes the same goal without causing the confusion. Another change you suggested, which is to change the safety height to zero or below, violates a user expectation that the program can be run with top of material set to zero. For that reason I am against that change, and I think putting the comments in to make a "mini tutorial" about how to touch off Z is a much better solution. Please, let's not spend any time questioning each other's motives here. I have no personal conflict with you and I hope you don't invent one where there is none. The tone of your message confused me because I didn't know there were any hard feelings after we came to a mutually-agreed-upon solution on the list yesterday.
