Thanks for the report.
@wwmm We should also translate None since it's not a preset name and we generally show translated strings on the command line.
Do note that i do have a preset named "None" cause i did not see an option to set no preset, it's literally an empty preset, but as it is named None you cannot differentiate it from actual no preset being set which also shows as None
I guess easiest solution would be to quote the name "None" and None
Running

This is happening because the secondary instance that is trying to get the value is reading it from the database. But we only update the database when the autosave timout triggers it or when the window is closed.
For the update to be instantaneous we should actually make the secondary instance communicate with the local server from the primary instance and get the current value directly from it.
Maybe we should output something as
No preset set.
I think that in this case it is better to just use the empty string and show nothing in the output after the ":"
With the functionality added by https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects/pull/4635 it was possible to fix that. It seems fine to me now.
