Good catch, I only tested with the Movies dataset. I added support for the different attribute types and mostly fixed the errors you shared. The first one (type missing) only happened once to me and is unrelated to this PR it seems, but I can't seem to replicate anymore. I'll keep an eye out for it happening again, but this can be fixed outside this PR.

Rebased and ready to merge!

I decided to add backwards compatibility with old saveStates in f31ae590. Similar to what I did for Sjoerds big mapvis refactoring in df71e8c3. In case we detect we received an old saveState, patch it and return settings in the form we expect it. Can be removed at some point in the future.
