Calibre Config Reports is a comprehensive tool for viewing, searching, and exporting detailed information about your Calibre setup—including installed plugins, custom columns, keyboard shortcuts, and settings. It offers powerful filtering, export options (CSV/XLSX), and easy copy features for troubleshooting or sharing your configuration.
CCR started when I felt the need for a more informative plugin manager. Once that goal was achieved, additional features were added, and what was initially just "Plugin Info" eventually evolved into Calibre Config Reports.
The plugin is organized into seven specialized tabs, each designed to give you complete visibility and control over different aspects of your Calibre configuration:
Plugins Tab
- View & manage: All installed plugins with detailed information (name, version, author, type, category)
- Filter & search: By category (Calibre ≥8.9), name, author, or description
- Actions: Remove plugins, visit forums, copy info, donate to authors
- Export: Plugin data to CSV/XLSX with customizable columns
- Install: Load new plugins from ZIP files directly
Custom Columns Tab
