You *can* re-add the favourites column; in fact, I replied to your
original thread less than 2 weeks ago and provided a step-by-step
guide with screenshots.

A preset only applies to a single module. Did you save such a preset
for each? Did you set them to be applied automatically? Otherwise, I
see no use for such presets, as one could enable a module faster than
apply a preset.

Base curve and filmic can come from two places:
- you turned them on (either in a style, a preset (applied
automatically or manually) or explicitly)
- you selected an option under Preferences & Settings / processing /
auto-apply pixel workflow defaults other than 'none'
(https://elstoc.github.io/dtdocs/preferences-settings/processing/)

If you want to use the scene-referred workflow, select that (or vice
versa). Also, note that this only applies to new images; that is, if
you've opened an image and it auto-applied the base curve, it's now
part of the history, and 'auto-apply pixel workflow defaults' won't
have an effect; applying a preset that enables filmic will result in
both being enabled, ***unless*** you also save e.g. 'base curve: off'
into the style.
