I am using the 1.2rc2 prebuild binary on OS X. I don't have time today 
to do a build on Linux but I'll see if I can test this over the weekend.

Of course, dozens. :] Because the use case is not only applying a preset 
by default but also applying a preset w/o loosing certain tweaks I have 
already made.

Think about 'color zones' or 'equalizer'. Maybe I only want a setting 
for one of the three tabs saved, i.e. only 'lightness', so I keep the 
other two as adjusted by the user, when applying it.
For 'split toning' I may want to store a bunch of 2-color schemes (incl. 
'compression') but not necessarily affect 'balance' when applying/trying 
them, as 'balance' is often highly image-dependent.
'graduated density' is another contender for storing presets that only 
contain 'hue' and 'saturation' but not the rest of the widgets.


If my workflow is always: 1. find & apply preset, 2. tweak, the feature 
is not needed.
But often the workflow is: 1. find & apply preset, 2. tweak, 3. find & 
apply other preset, 4. tweak, ...
Currently this makes me loose all my tweaks on those widgets of a module 
that I do not want to be affected by the preset.

So I guess ultimately you also want control over which parts of a preset 
to take when applying it. But fir starters, just being able to decide 
just to store certain widgets would be nice already.

Do I make sense? :P
