usage with uvx via winget path issue

[warrentc3]

I would like to craft my own preset, however, it appears there's some challenge with the app's data/preset path when it's leveraged with uvx when uvx is installed with winget.

Given how uvx facilitates app versioning, this results in a non-persistent ffmpeg_normalize\data path.

Example:
ffmpeg_normalize-1.37.1.dist-info
$env:LOCALAPPDATA\uv\cache\archive-v0\YXhe-WvYTdQrfCkdReTN4\ffmpeg_normalize\data\presets

ffmpeg_normalize-1.37.0.dist-info
$env:LOCALAPPDATAl\uv\cache\archive-v0\cN0Gv6k8DcyNvA9WcquQY\ffmpeg_normalize\data\presets

Would it be possible to incorporate a parameter that enables specifying either a presets/data directory or a specific preset json file?

Thanks for reporting this! Just to clarify: have you tried placing your custom presets in the user config directory?

On Windows this should be:

%APPDATA%\ffmpeg-normalize\presets\

This directory is stable and doesn't change with uvx versions. The paths you mentioned (%LOCALAPPDATA%\uv\cache\...) are where the bundled presets live inside the package – those are of course changing.

You can check available presets and the user presets directory path with:

ffmpeg-normalize --list-presets

If you've already tried the user config directory and it's not working, let me know and we can investigate further!

Closing this for now, as I think the answer should help you. If you still need help, report back please!
