Touchy may get this feature some day but I don't know of any concrete
plans to do it.  Currently I write/edit my gcode on another computer
using AXIS on EMC in simulator mode.  Once I am happy with the gcode
and I put it on the real machine, I don't need the preview anymore,
and I appreciate how fast Touchy works when it doesn't have to mess
with generating the preview.

Touchy does not have a full file chooser.  Files in ~/emc2/nc_files
are considered "in the control" and you can pick the one you want
from the list on the Auto mode tab.  I put files "in the control"
from my other machine using a simple copy over the network.

Yes, you can select among "Start Points" also on the Auto tab.  These
are lines in the gcode starting with N words.  I like to put a start
point at every tool change and at other safe places to start.

Thanks!
