Moving plug-ins from one computer to the other

[Heathside Boy]

I eventually succeeded in moving my Calibre library from one computer to the other but on my old computer I have plug-ins on the toolbar.

Is there an easy way to transfer over the plug-ins to my new Calibre library and if so how?

If not, could somebody give me step-by-step instructions on how to do it please?

Thank you

Any answers to this question please?

Plugins (and SOME settings) are stored in the Calibre config folder and sub-folsers

If you copy that, that should take care of most. IIRC some settings are stored with the Library (would be specific ONLY to that Library anyway)

Bearing in mind that I have already succeeded in moving my Calibre library from my old computer to my new one. It is only the plug-ins that I now need moving across.

Start Calibre on old computer
Preferences: Miscellaneous: Click 'Open calibre configuration directory
LEAVE THE DIRECTORY OPEN

Quit Calibre using Ctrl-Q (does not leave it in the tray this way) !important

COPY the entire contents (all files and folders) to the same place (the config folder) on the new computer. AGAIN Calibre must be Stopped.

If the Library name or location has change between computers, you may start with a error message: Just use the (Library Icon) Create/Switch to point back to the proper library
