<config>\plugins\template_catalog.json

Anyone know what it's for, and what put it there

Modified timestamp: 2025-03-18 19:35:30

This is what's in it:

{
  "templates": {
    "folders": {
      "Root": {
        "templates": [
          {
            "content": null,
            "name": "Root",
            "type": null
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

That looks like the Template Catalog plugin JSON file.

config\plugins is the usual path for those

Usually.
I just looked and calibre_config_reports has a folder in plugins , that contains 3 JSONs and a folder.

Yes, some plugins have a specific subfolder under config dir/plugins, but most will have just a JSON alongside the plugin zip.

By convention settings files for plugins are <plugin name>.json, e.g. View Manager.json not view_manager.json

I'd forgotten about Template Catalog - I binned it when I realised it was eating existing shortcuts - including shortcuts that are set by baseline calibre <sigh>.

Would be good if each plugin had its own subfolder; then Remove plugin could have an option to delete the folder and not just the ZIP — but what about what's in the metadata.db->Preferences table.

At some point I will revise Template Catalog. Probably leave shortcuts unassigned.
