Feature Request: Macro Commands

I have been trying to make use of the 3 buttons on the printer control dialog to issue commands to my Replicator 2X. Unfortunately these commands do not work because being a Replicator it wants the instructions sent as X3G. Presently S3G doesn't do any conversion - it sends the GCODE.

Could I therefore request that consideration is given to updating this dialog, perhaps with an optional checkbox against the macro textbox, which will request that S3G automatically converts GCODE to X3G.

S3G is doing this conversion between GCODE and X3G anyway when it does a full print job, so I assume it ought to be possible for it to carry out ad-hoc requests whenever the buttons are clicked.
