Try as I might, I cannot get openscad to load saved pre-sets. The json files are there, but the drop-down list in the customisation window will not show them- it only shows "design default values". The json files are in the same folder as the relevant scad files, with the same name, so the customisation window is saving them when the button is clicked- but it will not load them. System is windows 10 with all updates current, openscad is 2021.01, and I have tried running scad as admin, same result. -- Cheers, Ken bats059@gmail.com https://vk7krj.com/index.html https://vk7krj.com/running.html https://sstv.vk7krj.com/all_bands.html 'It seems hard to sneak a look at God's cards.

Thanks Torsten, but no, no special characters, and I found a program called NTFSLinksView which showed that the path in question is not a symbolic link. What may be linked to it is an OpenScad error that keeps popping up, "A critical error was caught. The application may have become unstable. std:bad alloc" Again, lots of of searching fails to finds any details relating to the error- but it doesn't seem to affect the operation of the program at all, except of course for the failure to load saved presets.

What I eventually found for the presets was, the path to the json file uses double forward slashes- once I found that, it was easy to edit the json files to suit. I’m guessing this was a change from the earlier version of openscad that I had originally saved the presets with. Ken.
