I was wondering if it was possible to port Calibre settings/installed plugins/etc. from one computer to another (Windows). For example, I have Calibre set up the way I want it on a laptop, and I want it the exact same way on a desktop with a fresh install of Calibre. Is there a way to move a settings file/folder or something so that the new install is mirrored exactly as it is on the other computer?

Note I am talking about settings/plugins here, I know about the way you can move the Calibre library folder (books + metadata) around.

Thanks.
Some settings are part of metadata.db,
So I would create an empty library (from the existing one) using the copy structure tick
The other place for settings is the configuration directory.

BUT
AFAIK plugins still need to be installed the standard way
(Kiwidude or crew can probably answer the Before or After the configuration folder that was copied is placed)
The operating system should be the same
