Ekos - auto focusing and focuser selection[SOLVED]

I found the auto focusing routine to be quite good and useful, however I did stumble across a small problem in the process.

For my setup, I have a Moonlite focuser. My mount is a G11 and I think the connection I use is LX200 Classic. This mount connection however reports focuser control as well, which I don't use.

Sometimes, in the focusing panel, the auto focusing routine will try to use the mount focus control instead of the Moonlite. There's no way that I can see on that panel to choose the focuser to use.

I normally work around this by not connecting to the mount at all until after focusing, but that's not ideal since I need to get kstars/ekos to slew to a region of interest first as my park position's sky view is obscured by the house.

Would it be possible to somehow choose the focuser to use, and/or select a primary focuser somewhere that's the "default"?
