Hi there, thanks for the reports guys. Just to clarify, if you mean that Review Heatmap's settings are lost when you delete a profile, I'm afraid that's by design: Review Heatmap's settings are tied to individual Anki profiles, so if you delete a profile, any customizations you applied there will also be deleted.

I suppose this can be confusing compared to other add-ons which provide settings which are common across all profiles. Review Heatmap operates differently here because the data it displays is also tied to individual profiles. E.g.: If you were to customize settings like its date range, those likely wouldn't make sense in the context of a different profile with a different review history.

But I think this could be interesting to get other perspectives on as well. If I may ask, which settings are you customizing in particular and which ones in particular would you expect to apply across all of your profiles?

Let's say my setup was:

• Profile A
• Profile B

The only settings I changed were heatmap visibility. I have it hidden on the Main and Deck screens in both profiles.

Deleting B would cause heatmap settings in A to restore to default. In other words, the heatmap that was previously hidden from Main and Deck screens in A are now present again.

Am using Review Heatmap v1.0.1.

I've had exactly the same issue, with the only difference being I had the heatmap colour changed in Profile A . When I deleted Profile B, Profile A's heatmap colour reverted back to lime.

However, I haven't done any changes whatsoever to Profile B's heatmap, I only created the profile and then deleted it some days after. When I opened Profile A right after that, the heatmap's settings were reverted to default

I'm also using Review Heatmap v1.0.1.

@kenf1 @Ben-Judah thanks for the clarification! That's definitely unintended behavior and likely a bug with profile handling. Will look into it.
