P: Creating a preset with just Remove selected fails

Creating a develop preset with Remove selected but no Remove commands applied to the photo appears to succeed.  A .xmp file is created, but the preset doesn’t appear in the Presets panel.

 

To reproduce on LR 15.2 / Mac OS 26.2:

 

1. Open a photo in Develop and click Reset.

 

2. Create a preset named “_remove”, with just Remove, Reflections, People, and Dust checked.  Observe that no error is displayed but “_remove” doesn’t appear in the Presets panel, though the file “_remove.xmp” appears in the Settings folder.

      I see the same bug.

      This said
      Q: Why would a user want to preset Distraction Removal as empty?
      A: To reset them form library.

      In Develop I suggested years ago to let users reset each panel by doing:  “Alt/Option > click on the panel’s icon > reset happens.


      In Library it would be trivial to have in “Quick Develop” dedicated “Reset” buttons for:  Edits, Masking, Manual Remove, Remove Distractions, Enhance


       

      Icons could be used instead of Text for universal understanding beyond words.
