I'd be interested to see what people think and open to implementing improvements that are suggested.

I'd like to start by saying that you did a great job.

One update that I'd like to see is a raster image output, where you are only getting the outermost lines of the image, and the inside of the image is left unaltered. I currently export my file to a .png and then open the .png in LaserGRBL to get the raster image.

From there, you could actually do an additional modification to drop the Z axis on multiple passes for folks like me who have a laser engraver and a CNC that both use G-Code files.

I'd gladly pay a registration for something like that.

Thank you again for your work, and I hope to hear back from you.
