Awesome, that’s a relief to hear. We were worried it was a regression from the latest version. I’m going to close this issue for now but I’ll keep responding to your comments here, don’t worry.

If you post a ZIP (or email me email ) of a handful of those swapped folders I’ll write you a bash script that fixes it.

@drpfenderson one more try please. Also, if you install it with pip install -e . you will always have installed the version of the code you are currently running (no need to pip install after changing branches i.e.)
