My backup software was ChronoSync, and it simply made copies of the files, so restoring them consisted of simply copying them back from my external hard drive to the new hard drive on my laptop. I did copy over the files before I reinstalled Omni Outliner.

As of today, though the anomaly seems to have disappeared (following a reboot of my computer). My Omni Outliner files are displaying again as files with the expected file icon instead of appearing to be folders.
