deleted presets on Slic3r PA after reinstal

a few days ago I had to uninstall Slic3r and then after a reinstall, this is what happened to my interface. as you can see on my print settings I have the default values. I can't figure out what happened. if I try a new installation i keep getting to this point. any idea?

Re: deleted presets on Slic3r PA after reinstal

When you initially install, or if you select Configuration->Configuration assistant... there is an option at the top to Remove user profiles. If that is checked, it will wipe out any configuration changes you've made. I suggest making regular backups to your configuration with File->Export config bundle. If you do that, you can restore from the backup quite easily.

The configuration assistant does mention that a snapshot is made beforehand. On MacOS, snapshots are stored under ~/Library/Applications Support/Slic3rPE/snapshots. Not sure where it's stored on other platforms, but it should be there somewhere.
