Well, then I wanted to copy all my configuration settings/plugins. I went to preferences->miscellaneous to identify the directory on my desktop .../appdata/roaming/calibre/... I copied this into the corresponding folder on the laptop.

Well, now I can see the plugins (i.e. Quality Check) but can't see the library. Going to the library tab shows the Box folder so am not sure what to do to now make my library visible again. I am guessing that there was something in that config directory that I shouldn't have copied over.

Help please?

Thanks
Create-switch: use existing to point to the current library (path)

All that was wrong, was the path does not match

BTW Be vewwwy careful NOT to access the Library from Both computers at the same time.
