Feature Request to make duplicate copies of the same print

I am using the latest Luban (4.1.4) and Firmware (1.14.2). I just finished making 20 laster etchings of the same thing. The workflow to do this is starting over each time. The controller and Luban could make it much easier! BTW, I make many copies of the same thing in CNC, Laser and 3D Printing. This could apply to all (knowing the 3D printing would be simpler as you just eliminate

The Process: Once a print job is finished and you want to make a copy, you have to:

  1. Click on "Complete"
  2. Click "Start"
  3. Click the same file again
  4. Click "Ready"
  5. Click "Auto Mode"
  6. Click "Next" for material thickness,
  7. Click "Next" for safety goggles
  8. Then the user is presented the Set Origin screen –->

The workflow could be this.

  1. Choose a button beneath (or above the "Complete" button) named "Make Copy" or other similar wording
  2. User is presented the Set Origin screen (I always double check the boundary in cases it is 1mm or so off and make final adjustments, then "set origin" if needed and begin making another copy.

This would speed up the workflow. This is using files stored on the Snapmaker, but would also be for Luban to keep functionality on both in sync. I will open up this on the Luban issues section as well.
