Packages - Remove and Replace with new presets

[Sawer]

Hello everyone,

I have 2.0 of a plugin version with totally new presets. When installing , we want to overwrite the current presets stored in appdata.

We’ve tried by applying a pre-install script that removes the presets , but without any positive result.

Is there any workaround that ensured this functionality go work?

@Sawer If the presets are embedded in the plugin they will only be extracted the first time the plugin is opened. After that they won't be extracted again.

You'll need to use your installer to place the new presets in the UserPresets folder on the user's system.

Interestingly there is a function for expansions that will override old presets, but not for non-expansions. Maybe this is something that could be added.
