I think loading up your preset then making a new preset is the best way to do it? It's been quite some time since I've worked on that version of GEL (I've tried rewriting GEL a few times but nothing's come to fruition yet)
No, if you want presets you should use 2.4, I was actually talking about rewrites that aren't even available on itch.io; I put enough features into 2.4 that I haven't made a version that got back up to that standard since
