When we branched our 7.5 code to test newer versions, we discovered that when installing shaders via xsibatch.exe -i doesn't generate a .preset file anymore as of Softimage 2011. If are any shader .presets remain in use it means one of two things: the code hasn't been touched in a long time, or something is being used internally to generate those presets that aren't available to end users.
