Retraction

Hi all

I am wondering whether it is possible to use retraction without having to deretract basically the same filament. Although I am using 
the G92 E0 code after retraction, the delta of retraction will be compensated and the first 10mm will hence not be printed. Is there a g-code or a setting, where you can skip the deretraction without changing the consecutive print.

E.g.
G92 E0
G1 E-10 F1000 <- Retraction
(G1 E10 F1000 <- Deretraction)
G92 E0
G1 Code Afterwards

Help is appreciated.
Thx.

    Your procedure to generate gcode must fit this already. E.g. you can say last print might or might not have retracted 10mm so you make every print start with creating a prime line that is at least these 10mm but better a bit more. Then if there was no retract it just primes a bit more and if it was it refills. Would be good anyway since without retract you would ooze a bit so need to refill anyway before the print. One reason you also make a skirt which does actually the same.
