Starting around the time when 7.01 came out, I noticed that some of the presets that others have shared would not load. I'd attempt to load the preset into a blank preset and AX8-Edit would do some work followed by leaving the preset blank with no message regarding failure. I'm typically slow to upgrade so I presumed that this was because the presets were created with 7.01 and I was on an older pre-7 version -- not surprising jumping up a major release. Once I eventually updated and tried the presets again, they worked.
Now that 7.02b is out, I'm noticing the same thing happening again so I'm guessing it is the same issue where people are uploading 7.02b presets and I'm trying to load them on 7.01 -- somewhat surprising given it's a minor version change.
I'm not sure if this is a bug or a wish because I don't know what the expectation is for preset compatibility. I never noticed this in the past 10 months with the AX8 and then suddenly a bunch recently so it feels like it might be a recent bug that crept in or compatibility behavior change but maybe I just got lucky in the past.
If presets simply are not compatible on older firmware versions, it would be nice to at least get an error message when the load fails and ideally identifying the firmware required.
