Faves not saving/loading after update about gmic-qt HOT 4 OPEN

Could you provide your Fave file for inspection?

from gmic-qt.

Sure. I had a look at it myself but I'm not sure what I'm looking at.
json files don't seem to be supported here so I've converted it into a text file.
gmic_qt_faves.txt

Thanks.
After analyzing your data, we think we can tell what happened:
The filter Color Presets has been updated since you put it in your Faves, and additional filter parameters have appeared, making your Fave entry kind of 'invalid' for the updated filter.

When this happens, G'MIC-Qt still keeps your Fave filter available, but with the default parameters (not the saved ones for the older version of the filter, and which are not valid anymore).

There's not much we can do about it, except recommend that you create a new favorite for the updated version of the filter.
Thanks for your report.

Ah ok, that makes sense. Just one thing to note, this has happened twice now, after two updates, meaning I have actually created new favourites for each feature as you suggested and yet after each update it got reset again, so it seems that the presence of the old invalid fave file is stopping g'mic from updating it. I'll try deleting the fave file, so it has to build an entirely new one and then if it happens again in future I'll open the issue again.

Thanks for looking into it for me.
