Guiding issue with rotator use was created by Peter Kennett

I have a Pegasus Falcon Rotator which works great. But after a meridian flip, my rotator rotates around 180 degrees, and this messes up the autoguider.
The guider fails because it needs to be recalibrated. Is there a way to tell EKOS to recalibrate the AutoGuider after a flip when using a rotator?

(or better yet - it would be nice if EKOS would reverse guide directions when using a rotator as NINA does.)
