set initial slide index

[linkit87]

Is there anyway to set initial slide to show without triggering the animation?

I think this is related to:
#165

Indeed it is

@linkit87 FWIW I hacked this with the following code in the optional array:

onInit: function () {
    setTimeout(function () {
        $('.element').slickSetOption('speed', 0).slickGoTo(4).slickSetOption('speed', 300);
    }, 10);
}

Thanks @alexrussell

Thanks @alexrussell, but this seems more like a workaround.

Oh yeah it most certainly is.

So basically what I'm seeing in the real world and what I think I'm reading here is just that "initialSlide" doesn't work at ALL; correct?

To paraphrase Yzma from "Emperor's New Groove":

Why do we even HAVE that option?!

Workaround above works like a charm.

@centerlinescores its tricky. Say you have 6 slides. slidesToScroll is 3. That makes the only navigable indexes 0 and 3. So if you put initialSlide: 2, it wont work. Do you have a particular use case that isn't working for you?
