This is a unfortunate side effect from reworking how the randomized sets were represented in the settings GUI. It's now in a List widget which is more easily expanded to include new effects without making the setting window grow to an unreasonable size.

Now that it's been done, future releases should not cause your randomized sets to get reset.

This is an issue that I documented in the known issues section (#.6) in the readme.md shown on the spices website.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I had thought of adding buttons to set/unset all the randomized set check boxes, but I just haven't got around to it yet. It's on my list of things to investigate doing, but I can't say when it will happen.
