If I click on Load plug-in from a file I get one of my folders opening which does not contain Calibre Plugins.
If it isn't installed, how come I can disable it? If it is installed, why doesn't it appear in the list and where is it? If I select get new plug-ins I don't see it there.
This is the first time I've tried to use Calibre.
Sorry if I'm being thick but how do I get it and where can I expect to access it when I've got it?

That is a bundled plugin, used to create the catalogs. That gets used when you use Convert books ==> create a catalog of the books in your calibre library. When you click show only
user-installed plugins, it is not listed, nor are all the other plugins there, since they were installed by calibre NOT the user.
What you
want is the Import List plugin, which can be gotten by downloading the zip from that thread and adding it via the Load plugin from file (you will need to navigate to the right download folder).
However, a much simpler way is to click the other button, "Get new plugins". This will open up a list of optional plugins, derived from the index here on mobileread, and the Import List plugin will be listed there. Highlight it and click the
Install button in the corner.
As with most plugins, (the exception being metadata download and device interface plugins)
this plugin will offer to put an icon on the toolbar by which it will be used.
