This is exactly the problem I had when I did it this way in that I lost
all my folder settings, templates and filters. Lucky for you, you copied
the folder to the new location instead of moved it, a critical
difference in method. :-)

What TB! seems to do when we changed it's working directory path was to
create basic config files in the new directory, *overwriting* the ones
we had before. This is the reason behind the apparent disappearance of
the templates, filters etc. Since you had copied the folder, you could
then easily copy back over the config files again solving the problem. I
wasn't so lucky. Admittedly it's a good idea, provided the folder is
copied and not moved. :-)
