saving virtual libraries and copy rules
SO I spent a lot of time really organizing my copy/search/replace rules, as well as my virtual library rules, is there a way of saving them and copying them into other libraries? I understand that the search/replace rules are global, but if I import a new/old library and want to keep the rules I just spent hours setting up, is there a way of doing it?

Also, the same with virtual libraries (I know they are library specific, but I have a set of "non-denomiational" rules that I would like to add.

Create a new blank library--see screenshot--then use go to the old library select all and do a copy to library.

Your library will have all of your virtual rules.

@bernie - I suspect he just wants the VL settings, but not the other per-library settings like column-colour, view-manager settings etc.

They are buried in metadata_db_prefs_backup.json
This allows you to rebuild a Library structure (VL is just one of many items that are 'per library', thus stored there.

No clue on how to use fragments from that file

If you're adventurous, you do a library backup, then delete the fragments you don't want, and then do a database restore.
