I've been struggling with training for the last five or six sessions. I kept getting errors about images missing from the alignment file, files not being in the folder I just entered., etc. I thought I was going a bit batshit until I went back and checked the entries. Once I enter the information for the A images and alignments I verify them. When I get the information entered for the B data I've found that the information in for the A Data that I just entered has changed. This is extremely frustrating. It's like the most boring game of whack-a-mole........ever.

Re: GUI swappinng A and B entries in Training.
There are 2 possibilities here.
1) You have missed a step in the extraction process
2) Some software on your PC is somehow altering the files.
re: 2 The way Faceswap keeps track of images is to get the "hash" of the image itself. This is basically a unique identifier, and means we can keep track of face images if the filename changes. However, if the image changes in any way, then it will get a new hash, and Faceswap will no longer be able to track the faces.
If your faces still have their default filename, then you can try using the "update-hashes" option in the alignments tool to update your alignments file to contain the current hashes of each image.
My word is final

Re: GUI swappinng A and B entries in Training.
The programs most likely to change your files are photo organizers, "cloud" storage provider apps, and backup software. All three may add metadata, compress, or otherwise change the files. Any time I've seen this problem it's been one of those three culprits.
