recover snippets only

rjwse@aol.com · 10-09-2020, 08:27 AM

I installed Ubuntu 20.04 on a new partition and due to a glitch have lost the ability to load Ubuntu 19.10 on the original partition. I installed a new copy of calibre on 20.04 and I can access the files of 19.10 from 20.04 in Nautilus. I am hoping to locate and copy and paste the snippets in 19.10 tp 20.04. Remember, I cannot load 19.10 (and hence calibre) so I cannot use the normal import/export. Is there a way to do this?

Best regards, Pop

Just look in the calibre config folder if you have access to that.

Thank you very much. Copying editor_snippets.json to the new instance did the trick! I now have my old snippets which I thought were lost. I have great trouble each time in Ubuntu when upgrading. Gnome seems to be the culprit. I am always experimenting and goofing around and learning new things, so, again, thank you for your help. Best regards, Pop
