The global configuration data is a set of nested directories, when flattened mine has ~150 files that are not icon overrides, and ~280 that are icon overrides.
One of the downsides to configuration swapping, is that one ends up with multiple sets of supposedly global settings. If you want a change available everywhere, such as a plugin update, you have to apply it in each configuration.
That's another reason I prefer to continue using portable (in this instance,
self-contained would be a better label) for adding 'books' to my Media and Journals libraries. The only customisations are: the author_sort_copy_method tweak, plus the View Manager and GetFileName plugins.
I'd be lost without portable, if I want to test a calibre or plugin beta, or try doing something different, I just install a fresh portable and do it there. Much easier than messing with different user accounts or virtual machines.
Maybe a MAC guru could suggest how to create the equivalent of Windows portable (self contained) on OSX.
