SUMMARY

Not possible to set/choose the default compiler for live-preview.
PdfLaTeX is used by default. If the user wants another one, he will have to choose it for each opened file.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open a .tex file
2.  Set live-preview on

OBSERVED RESULT
As default, live-preview use PdfLaTeX to compile.
To use another compiler (as XeLaTeX) I have to switch on it for each new file (or to switch one time for existing file)

EXPECTED RESULT
A menu entry in the settings should be added to set/choose the live-preview default compiler
