Import Config & Open Project Issues After Preset Housekeeping

Hey All, using PS 2.6.0

I did a bunch of "housekeeping" of presets tonight - printer, filament, and print. I renamed some presets & deleted some redundant, etc. When I open PS, the presets which "survived" the housekeeping load just fine.

I tried to compare one of my "surviving" presets to a profile I know I used in some previous prints, and discovered I cannot open/load a project/config and have it load the filament settings. When I open an old, untouched project, the Print and Printer profile names are some version of system defaults (rather than what the presets were called when the project was last saved), but the settings therein are shown as orange and reflect the correct values for the project.

The filament settings, however, won't load. Instead, the filament preset at the "top" of my user preset list is displayed, not what was saved with the project. "Import config from project", "Import config bundle" of a "backup" bundle, or "Import config" of a "backup" single-profile config I saved at the time also do not work correctly. When I open the "backup" bundles and configs in a text editor, the correct values are all there. 

What did I screw up? I really need to see all the print/filament/printer settings from old projects.

Thanks - AJ

In case anyone stumbles upon this later:

Because I had all my useful profiles exported anyway, I deleted the PrusaSlicer config folder (help > show configuration folder). A new config folder and contents are automatically generated next time PS is launched.

This solved my problem, I can now load a .3mf and see the correct profiles used.
