package configuration data is not saved:

To make a long story short, my computer was upgraded and I copied everything to a memory stick. I copied back to my new computer and now I am trying to recover my system. I am getting the message to update to the most current M&M and when I do that I get the message that I have multiple folders (again). I do not remember how to fix this. Also, any idea on how to recover the settings that I created?

Title:
  'Save Profile As' doesn't preserve package relationships and
  configuration data

Status in Mudlet the MUD client:
  New

Bug description:
  'Save Profile As' doesn't preserve package relationships and folders,
  so this cannot be used as a reliable way to move a profile between
  computers.

  Now that we have packages, I propose that 'save profile as' saves an
  xml that will keep the package relationships, and zip it all up along
  with the data in profiles/<profile>, so script settings would get
  saved as well.

  A special config.lua would indicate that this is a Mudlet backup and
  not a package, so upon extracting the folder levels will be done right
  and it wouldn't be considered a module or package.
