Hi @komeci!
Glad you're enjoying AquaTouch!
Unfortunately any changes that are not set via the AQT settings won't carry over to next versions.. (the triggers you've added directly into the preset itself. (explanation soon)
You'd need to manually redo the changes for any updates, since I don't have a way to know of any edits and handle them from my end. There are ways to make the manual redo-ing easier however.
Using more than one preset
BTT allows you to have more than one preset active at one time. One should be set as master, which all new triggers will go to, but the triggers from other active preset will be merged into the current setup.
You can use this function to somewhat preserve any new triggers and apps across updates on my side. (but not edits (changes) to AQT as they will go to the AQT preset, which will be replaced on update. It can only work for things that can be seperate from AQT, new triggers that are added in.)
Doing this means that you can preserve your added triggers and more easily merge them into the new update, (as you can keep your changes but update AQT separately since they are seperate presets but merged).
I can probably guarantee, however, a rough transition especially if I change anything where you've added things... e.g. if you put additional buttons into an app, then I completely change how that app works. You'd need to clean up that section as your buttons may get misplaced. But at least it's not as hard as starting over and instead just fixing things up
Adapting your current setup
In theory, you'd do this before starting any edit:
You'd make a new preset for your additions and have AQT as non-master. You'd add your new triggers to that personal preset then have them both active at the same time (Your Custom as Master, AQT as a background active) so they merge for daily use.
But since you already have things in AQT, you'd need to move them out to it's own preset.
I recommend backing up your current customised AQT (very important since BTT likes to stuff up when deleting things), then delete everything that isn't yours from your current AQT leaving your new triggers behind in the right place. (to put it visually, pluck all the AQT off and leave your triggers behind)
Then you can load a fresh copy of AQT as a seperate preset, set your personal preset as master and clean up any mishaps there. Like this:
(you can also color-code each preset so you can easily keep track of which belongs to which in the UI in that last column)
Sorry for the wall of text as it's a complicated matter, but I hope it's helpful to you. Tell me how it goes!
Lastly, I'm also interested to see what you've added to your preset! If you don't mind, could you attatch your version here so I could take a look? If I find anything that could help a wide audience then I'll add it in to the official preset, credited of course!
Good luck preparing for updates!
