So I'm ok too ; as far as I can do presets of erasers , of brush with 
blending modes , and *be sure when I load a preset I will obtain a 
similar result compare to when I saved it* , I agree.

That's what I do Silvio since long time with my Krita test ( in my old 
preset I was using curves to set opacity in the preset ) , so I'm not 
used to touch this opacity button and let most of the time to 100% , and 
this one don't give me feedback at preset loading if my active brush 
have low opacity or if it will paint-over everything.
If I tweak this opacity in this global button on toolbar and save a 
brush with the new system ; does my preset will be saved without ? I 
guess yes . So, I better let the global opacity at 100% all the time, 
witch make a useless and more confusing button for me.

Sure , I like it too :) But, as *shortcuts* ; It means to me : the 
"opacity ruler in preset panel" , and the "opacity global button on top 
toolbar" should be linked and display the same value ; and a blending 
mode option  ( with eraser ) should do the same and be placed in the 
preset panel to be consistent with 'brush creation job = all the option 
in this panel are here to create a brush" .  For mirror, this one don't 
have to be saved in preset , imo.

Ho ho weird , I copied all the content of my personnal preference 
folders in this zip  and here no brushes are missing ( and Krita is 
update ) .It's based on the default Chaos&Evolutions brushmask delivered 
with Krita + 3 brushmask I also give in the zip. Do you removed some on 
your install ?

I noticed it also  ; and far before the patch of Sven.
Also build-up option has a weird behavior . But I already reported years 
ago ( a weird transparency color blending borders, and a kind of 
self-collision inside a single brush stroke ) . This is another story :)

Of course I remember :D

I trust you if you think it's better for the technical side of the 
problem. Here just a user point of view. Nothing less nothing more.
