Lost My Presets, HELP.
I ported most of my steam library off of my c drive yesterday and today wallpaper engine lost all the presets I have, any idea as to how to recover them?

If you submitted your presets to Workshop then you can subscribe to them and they will work no matter if you move the files around.

If you definitely want to get them back then you can either move the files back for now and submit them to Workshop or you can edit the configuration file. But the latter will be difficult if you don't already know your way around the format it uses (JSON).

okay, i moved it back to my c: drive, its a small enough program that it shouldn't matter performance wise. Mechanical Hard drives suck.
