distro hop, flatpak re install = removed all your configs
EasyEffects Version
8.0.5
What package are you using?
Flatpak (Flathub)
Distribution
Fedora 43
Describe the bug
So, i had some issues with another distro but i already had my /home with the flatpak configs, and after i installed fedora i installed easyeffects, everything ok. i though this was just read my /home/user/.var easyeffects config with no issues because it is flatpak, yk... but when i started easyeffects for the first time in this new distro installation, it removed all my config files :) so yeah, that should not force clean it if there's already files.
Expected Behavior
- dont force clean flatpak or general config folder in /home on "first" launch
Debug Log
No response
Additional Information

Did this happen when migrating from EasyEffects 7.x to 8.x or with the same EasyEffects version?

probably with the same version, since i updated the previous distro even today before migrating

Then easyeffects code was not the one doing this. Even migrating from 7.x to 8.x should be fine from 8.0.5 onward. I guess this may be a flatpak thing. Have you ever seen something like this @vchernin ?

By this I mean the preset files migration. As Qt and gtk handle configuration in a completely different way an upgrade to easyeffects 8.x will feel like a reset. But from a 8.x version to another 8.x is fine. Configurations should remain.

i saw the change from gtk to qt in my easyeffects interface and in that movement it didnt deleted anything, i just needed to re assign the config auto apply and done :s if the code doesnt clean the folder so idk, cuz i just installed it and hoping it read my config

This feels like some kind of flatpak behavior we are not aware of. It is the only thing I can think of if you had already updated to EE 8.x by the time this happened.
You mean all config files were deleted? I cannot think of why Easyeffects or Flatpak would remove all your config files from all apps on your system. I realize that does not help much but I really am not sure how Flatpak would be any different here.
