Just started having problems with preset.
Running version 8, and I have repaired from the setup file.
Ideas appreciated.
Could you please take a screenshot of all those … easier to follow.
^ Presets of duplicates of those in designated folder above. Tried deleting but they just come back when PL again.
2nd SS of my own folder where I have tried to add new presets by it fails for some reason.
Third problem I have solved.
Hope this helps.
Worked it out
The format of my presets was in the incorrect format.
It has to be inLua-style table format (Preset = { ... }), which DxO PhotoLab uses internally.
That means:
Each setting is stored in Settings = { Base = { ... } } as key/value pairs.
Parameter names are exactly what PL8 expects (e.g., ExposureCompensation, Vibrancy, ClearViewActive).
Preset files also have LocalizedInfo for display names in multiple languages.
Boolean values are lowercase true/false, numbers are plain, and strings are in
quotes.
Thanks for viewing, and I hope this helps others when creating their own presets.
Try to use your custom presets e.g. like this → 0 - …
Otherwise my screenshots show DxO’s default entries (= language set to English).
In Windows 10 check
the general entry
the user’s entry
Check for other “duplicates” and delete them. Some time ago I had to do so, most probably after changing the language. 
Thanks got there in the end.
