Delta Printer configuration flawed in Repetier-Host 2.0.1
Hi,
how i am supposed to configure a Delta Printer in Repetier-Host 2.0.1?
In the Printerconfiguration i was able to set HomeZ to min/max/0 in 1.6.x
Now i can only enter a fix value?
If i home the Printer the Z-Coordinate shows the value i entered. Not the Value the Firmware reports. Which is bad on a Delta with autoleveling and so on.

That is normally no problem if it varies a few 0,01mm which is what autolevel would differ. Every gcode with absolute commands will correct this anyway. So the next non relative z move fixes is like the first layer in prints.
But what i really find annoying, is the fact that the host shows some coordinates which has absolut nothing to do with reality. Wouldn't it better if the host would send absolute coordinates and not relative? Or at least the first command which is send is in absolute coordinates so printer and printer-settings are equal and then it can continue with relative?
And don't say now something like "use a script button which you click after homing". No, no, no. There are only 5 Script buttons and they have already other functions
Which brings me to that: could you add more script buttons and make them a little configureable (e.g. change the icon, or link them to a custom command of the repetier-server)
