Because I purchased a new computer, I need to transfer my Calibre from my old one which is current, to my new one, which has an older version already on it from a restore disk I made months ago.

Although I managed to get the books into the new library by having them routed to Drop Box, I do not want to have to re configure all my plug-ins and other metadata.

I was able to take care of the custom columns with copy to library, but I am still left with some of the plug ins, namely the Good Reads plug in, and I know this should be addressed to the Good Reads plugin forum, but the question I have fits for the entire Calibre library.

How do I find the correct Json (is that the right spelling?) file for the entire Calibre library, how do I move it from one computer and into the correct spot in the new computer so that I do not have to have two Calibre libraries, thus allowing me to delete the old one without worrying that I missed something?

I read the manual and it only reads that I will have to switch between the two libraries if one is already installed. I did everything possible to uninstall the older library on the new computer, but every time I re-installed it I was finding that the unwanted structure still remained. I spent too much time trying to figure this out. I read somewhere on these forums that copying the Json file from the desired library into a new one will take care of the structure, and I also read that the same thing could be accomplished with the Good Reads plug in.

Summary: Where is the main Json file for the entire Calibre library? How do I copy it into a new library? Same goes for the other plug ins.....Also, is this what I want to do, or is there another solution?
