Hi!
You load old presets, they resize, I'm used to comparing presets by size.
Preset - Save As - in Components - Compatibility - checked items are not saved.
By dates are not removed, extra size and confusion.
Make new presets optional!
 
Hi,

thanks for the feedback, it shall be done.

Bit of clarification, history is saved only on overwritten presets, not sure how that relates to "You load old presets, they resize".
If yours changes on loading, that needs to be fixed.

Unsaved checked compatibilities, those that were enabled by default anyway, are no longer saved for cleaner presets - loaded result should be the same, if not, example please.

Good news, will switch to user-initiated save/overwrite not saving history, while auto-saved presets will always store history.
Option will be called something like:
- Presets save history only for autosaved presets
- Presets save history in user overwritten presets

As for simplifying comparison of files in the meantime, load your preset, save it under a new name so it has only one entry, it will look like before.
Also when saving under the same name, delete it first.

Option added in the latest version, let me know if it's good now with it kept disabled (found in Menu - Settings).

I didn't understand that. I set my compatibility parameters and save the preset. When loading this preset again, these parameters are missing.
And what if I forget which parameters I needed at that moment?

Let me know what do I click, save, load, and it wasn't remembered. At least one exact example, then we'll see, maybe there is a bug.

Thanks.
 
Load preset, select the necessary items in Components - Compatibility. Save the preset.
If you load this preset again, these items will not be selected, they will reset.
Same problem: link

Oh, thank you, now that I retry it starting from a fresh preset, it's true.
Is it any excuse that my preset worked fine all this time...

Uploaded a fix, please let me know if good now.
 
All preset dates are reset in the directory. I can't find the latest settings now.

See in the file:
<Date selected="09/24/2025 15:56:17">09/24/2025 15:56:17</Date>

I'm with xwing. I relied on file mtimes to sort and work with my presets. The fact that NTLite has just silently rewritten all presets behind my back is really unpleasant.
 
Mod note: Merging post from another related thread.

For nuhi
With the new version, when NTLite is opened, all presets are "UPDATED" to the same date/time as NTLite's opening. This should be avoided to ensure the ability to search based on the preset's original creation time and not on the time NTLite was opened.

Never seen presets overwritten.
Does it happen on certain operation, can you catch the sequence?

I looked at my presets now, some are dated back to 2019 and I've ran all kinds of alphas and betas during development.

When you run the new version of NTLite for the first time - all old presets in the Preset folder will be automatically overwritten. (look in Explorer, not NTLite.)
Added into the old presets - Date selected="xx/xx/2025 xx:xx:xx" and they change the size/date/time in Explorer!

So we're not talking about the NTLite's preset timestamp, but the File Explorer last change date.
OK, got it, fixing, will release soon.
 
Indeed, the date is changed in Explorer, even if the preset isn't used.
But strangely, it's not changed in the NTlite UI.
 
Fix uploaded, let me know if there is anything else.
 
Old presets are being changed because a line is added:
<Date selected="xx/xx/2025 xx:xx:xx"
 
Thanks, good point.
Reuploaded with a filter to skip tagging selected date on the presets with one date (no history).
First fix was to not do it if it was already done, to not constantly refresh file dates.
