Hi there

I'm about to migrate my stuff to a new Mac. Since I have my library in Dropbox, doing the export/import isn't exactly a good idea.

I found an option in Calibre's settings: Advanced > Miscellaneous > "Open calibre configuration folder". If I do that, it opens Finder to the following path: /Users/<MyUser>/Library/Preferences/calibre.

So what I'm planning to do:
1. Install Dropbox on the new Mac, sync the whole library.
2. Install Calibre on the new Mac.
3. Without configuring anything, exit Calibre.
4. Overwrite the configuration folder's content with the content from my current Mac.

That should in theory do the trick, right? Or should I first make sure to also install the same plugins before restoring the configuration folder?

Regards
Fermin
