Setting preference default in UI file

[chennes]

I've got a preference setting for the OpenSCAD workbench that is presented as an option menu: right now the value defaulted to zero and everything worked well. I'd like to change the default to 2: it's simple enough to change the other accesses in the code so that when the preference is unset, 2 is returned. But how do I do that for the UI file that generates the Preference page?

depends on what kind of widget you are trying to initialize.

if this for guiprefcomboSendVia in openscadprefs-base.ui, then set currentIndex to 2.

Perfect, thanks!
