Describe the bug

Collections not being reloaded on config restore

Love the new Collection concept in 4.1.0, but collections should be stored and restored as part of backup.

Environment (please complete the following information)

- OS:Apple Mac Sequoia 15.5
- Browser: Safari
- Companion Version: 4.1.0 beta

They are included in the exports (as of yesterday), but import hasnt been implemented yet.

I'm unsure if doing it will mean needing to do the import rewrite that I have been putting off, or if it can be done well enough in the current system

I appreciate the feedback - thank you. It's a bit of an issue however, if you spend a lot of time creating collections in variables, collections and triggers, and you have a crash and need to reload - all that effort is lost. But I appreciate it may well be a major "drains up".

[Julusian]

actually, my main concern was with the complication of handling/merging during a single page/trigger import. but for a full import this is pretty trivial to do (and is probably the main case you are after), so is done now

Fantastic - it allows me to make backups just in case...many thanks
