Autoupdate of 1.5.28 to 1.5.30 fails in several respects
* Auto-Update by the app installs to %ProgramFiles%\VidCoder, even if the running instance lives elsewhere and running the installer manually would recognize the last used installation path properly.
* If done with queue entries using nlmeans or manual presets using nlmeans (as written by build 28), the app is not startable.
* Deleting %AppData%\VidCoder\VidCoder.sqlite "fixes" the problem. Workaround would be acceptable if there was a way to export/import user presets into/from an xml file.
* Executing an "UPDATE presetsXml SET xml = REPLACE(xml, '>NlMeans<', '>NLMeans<') WHERE xml LIKE '%>NlMeans<%'; UPDATE settings SET value = REPLACE(value, '>NlMeans<', '>NLMeans<') WHERE name = 'EncodeJobs2'; COMMIT TRANSACTION; VACUUM FULL;" against the sqlite database fixes the problem properly - but is that within everyones' skill set?.
* Oh, and the installer overwriting a cleaned BuiltInPresets.xml without asking isn't to my liking either :) No, seriously: A "hide all builtin presets" preference would be ideal.
* Other missing options: Auto-Vacuum, Auto-Cleanup of log files (those in appdata) and at least an option to disable the copying of tags (what I'd really like is the ability to automatically set all well-known tags from a sidecar file and/or automatically set a cover from a jpeg with same name in the source folder)
* Minor criticism: Having the queue in a single blob inside the settings table seems silly. Shouldn't a blob-per-entry approach like for the presets be a bit more friendly to the fragile sqlite engine?
Note the "NlMeans" value it complains about didn't get there without pain either: When I updated from .26beta it modified all my presets and queue entries resetting them to no denoising because it didn't have a backwards compatibility translator for the old notation - but it didn't crash either. So it *did* have Exception handling in the preset parser in the past!
Crash output - redundant as the above should already be obvious:

Comments: The NLMeans crash should be fixed in 1.5.31.
