Thanks, that's some of the issues I was concerned with,
Do all plugin authors follow your example - may have issues with that.

While I am installing on the same hardware, and same OS, Just moving from a single 1.5GB to 2 drives (so I can use a 3TB without upgrading MB) anyway I imagine some of those are going to be different, due to different HD lettering, or capitalising on Username, if something can go wrong it probably will...

Anyway, personally I'm just wanting to make sure I keep my "reading list", so after I reinstall the app, I'll reinstall the plugin and copy over the relevant data from the original roaming folder.

It just all sounds a little confusing, for what is really something that a lot of new users will want to do, ie backup / reinstall and have all their settings there.
Maybe there is something that can be done to make it easier? Could there be a import/export for plugin data - or maybe have it Required to be stored self contained like you do.
