In the future is there a way of saving those setting so if I install calibre in a new computer I don't need to do that...I can just simply apply the old settings to a new calibre installation.
Simply copy the configuration folder at the same time as the backup. Then replace that after the initial Calibre install (calibre not running)
FWIW I just had my W10 SSD get damaged (something w
ent wrong with SATAport0) and damaged the boot block and repair failed. ) I am now running Linux Mint from SATA port 1 and all I did was copy the config folder and Libraries from the old (not quite dead) drive. I did need to adjust some paths using the regular Calibre GUI. Can't beat that.
