File Ops. buttons are "hot" while G-code file is running. Should they be disabled and maybe warn "Stop file before ......" like Mach3 ?
And,
Go to Zero sends all axis' except Z. Is there a Safe Z setting ?

This is all done in the screen set. Obviously, the existing screen set has not covered every angle. And that screen set might not be the "stock" screen either. We were thinking of having a contest or something for the development of the stock screen set. The one you are using basically is a clone of the static wxMach.exe GUI interface. And it has a back story associated with it. It came from my efforts to produce a G code interpreter front end for the Galil motion controllers over 10 years ago. Before I even knew of Mach! It is pretty functional, but it is not frill free at the moment.
Feel free to do up your own screen sets. I know that is not a simple matter at the moment without documentation. But that will get there. As soon as we get out of this stage, I think it will be full on doc time!
I may add a property to all of the controls like "Valid States" where all one needs to do is select the machine states in which the control will be enabled. But right now, you can handle this type of thing in the PLC script.
