tab selection via menu

[fabianenos]

so in my attatched script when the app opens up it selects the tab based on the no in the settings.ini file which is either 1 or 2.

when it starts at tab_ch = 1, nothing works well but when tab_ch = 2 the i can only select custom via the menu. any recomendations?
