Since I'm only marginally literate in how databases work, I'm making a guess that things like plug-ins are not tied to the database and are dependent on the installation. Does that mean that, if I want Calibre to look and behave exactly the same way on both computers, I will have to install all of the plug-ins on the second machine? Thanks for any insight...
Absolutely correct. Plugins Must be installed again, even if you copied the configuration directory across.
