Presets are gone after update.

[filchcomp]

The custom commands/presets I created are gone after the update. When I open the presets list, all I can see are the default ones.

What version were you using previously?

Are you using windows?

If yes, installed version or portable version?

[filchcomp]

3.2.0, Windows, portable version.

I can not reproduce this, do you also have installed version of MD? Maybe your lost options are still there but they are in the installed version.

Can you readd your lost preset option?

[filchcomp]

Yeah, I have the installed version now. Perhaps the file is still there, but I could not find info on which file contains the presets. Program also keeps redownloading youtube-dlp when I launch it.

Post contents of the basic downloader tab after it is done updating yt-dlp so that i can see why it is failing.

In portable version, preset options are in a file named "presetOptions.json" and the file is located in "portable version folder"/local/data.

In the installed version, preset options are a file named "presetOptions.json" and the file is located in "C:\users\USER\Application Data\media-downloader\media-downloader\data"

Thanks, I found the presets intact.

The contents of the basic downloader tab: Here's some extra: Mediadownloader itself keeps updating to 3.2.1 too, while staying on 3.2.0.

Found the problem and the solution is for below folder to not exist.

C:/Users/YJ/AppData/Roaming/media-downloader/update/local

The update folder should only contain "media-downloader.exe" and "translations" folder. The code that deleted rest of the stuff in the "update" folder does not work in the installed version.

I have updated "MediaDownloader-3.2.1.zip" version with a fix to the problem. Allow it to auto update one more time to get the updated version.
