This commit adds a UI option to the EggBot Inkscape extension to optionally log all commands sent to the EBB into a file.
It depends on additions to plotink (evil-mad/plotink#53).
As the field for the filename is empty by default, logging is disabled by default.
A script ebb_replay_log.py (in the plotink repo) allows for replaying the list of commands to a serial port.
Together with changes to the plotink code, this makes it possible to create a design in Inkscape, save the plotting commands into a command log, and then plot the design again without requiring Inkscape.
This is useful for automated / repeated plotting of the same design.
