The customized pre-set of the layer dispaly is not for global in KiCAD 6.0?

I have customize a layer display in the pre-set in one project, but when I open another project, the customized pre-set disappeared.

So the pre-set is only saved in current project, and when I open another project, I need to re-customize the preset again?

Is there any way to customize a pre-set for all projects?

Apparently not. The data is stored in .kicad_pro file of the project and could theoretically be copied from one file to another. There’s of course a good reason to not have a GUI for it: the actual layer set is configurable, so each project can rename the layers, use or not use them and use them for different purposes. Many users probably stay with the default set so that common display settings would make sense, but KiCad won’t support a GUI which would break things for some projects/users.
