Converting user presets to 1.0.0 compatibility

Post by robertbert »

Late to the party with 1.0+ versions, and my version I had been using 6+ months ago still used the .xml based user presets. Is there a non-manual way to convert the .xml information into the JSON-based config?

Thanks in advance!

The main built-in presets file can't be easily upgraded, but exporting presets in the UI and importing them into a new build *may* work. Unfortunately before the overhaul, the wingui has really buggy Preset import/export so milage may vary. The Nightly builds are a bit more resilient to bad input.

It's probably best to re-create.
