To replace an existing preset with a custom compression settings file, copy the
desired custom compression settings file in PeaZip\res\presets folder, in place of
one of the existing preset files (named 1..15).
Displayed name, below, can be edited and will be shown in presets menu in place of
the name of the replaced preset (displayed names in embedded presets are 1..15, and
are translated to language-dependant strings).
