Description

If a file exists in data/ then no data packages appear in the GUI.

ASSUMED SOLUTION:
The loop that iterates through directories in the local data/ dir needs to
distinguish files from directories so that files can be skipped instead of
breaking the loop.

A similar problem exists if there are any files in a subdirectory of data/ that
don't conform to the pattern (in perl syntax) /.*?\.\d+/

The most common way this seems to occur (unintentionally at least) is when Mac
users open the .morpho directory in Finder and then move or delete files in
data/ or its subdirectories. The OS creates ".DS_Store" files in these
directories. These files can safely be deleted if desired.

Actions #3

Now other files are allowed in the data/ and data/package directories.
