Homing with absolute encoders

This looks like a suspect

github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/2e58fb...motion/homing.c#L997

I compiled from source, so I can try to change something...

Oh.
I mentioned that the position changed even without homing.
So it must be somewhere else, right?

That line shouldn't execute if HOME_ABSOLUTE_ENCODER is set.

I understand that it should not...
Anyways, it changes even without homing.
Is the offset kept somewhere when the machine is off? The problem might be there

The problem disappeared when I moved the ini file to a separate folder.

Now the position is read from the drives at startup and HOME_ALL applies joint offsets.

There are some inconvenient things, though:
1. To change the offsets, HOME_ABSOLUTE_ENCODER should be set to 0 for all joints. And then set back to 1 or 2.
2. Homing is not automatic. But that can be set up in HAL, I guess?

You can connect halui.home-all to icontrol.0.machine.is-on (or similar)
