Overwrite Old Presets

[DanH]

Does this setting overwrite every time you open the plug-in?

[Matt_SF]

@DanH no, it adds a file in the preset folder, holding the plugin's version number. Each time you change the version, it updates the preset files.

[DanH]

@Matt_SF ah ok... And if that file doesn't exist I guess it overwrites as well?

[Matt_SF]

@DanH it creates it after enabling the option, and yes, if you change the plugin's version, it updates it

[DanH]

@Matt_SF But what if there is no version file in the User Presets? As in - the plugin has existed for a long time, but only now do I enable the Overwrite option on the presets in the next update.

[Matt_SF]

@DanH the presets can be overwritten only if this file exists. Indeed, if it doesn't, you won't be able to do it.

IIRC what I did when I was in your situation, I released the update of my plugin, and give the installer a copy of that file with an old version number, then upon loading the new version of the plugin, it would 'see' that the presets were old and then it would overwrite them.

@Matt_SF Yep good idea, cheers!
