As a workaround you can use the ability to export your cover settings, install the plugin on your new machine and then import those cover settings.

I should really change that plugin so it stores paths relative to the calibre configuration folder which would make it more 'transportable'. Even better, that included the ability to move libraries to elsewhere on the computer.

Device: Sony PRS 650, PocketBook 360, Astak PocketPro (RIP), Tungsten T3. click the folder icon in the pop-up windows and navigate to the new folder that stored your caliber books and metadata. json files in that plugins subfolder so it would allow you to keep your existing plugin settings for most of them.

Create a new folder in the docker folder for Calibre. If your directories are different, you can still try Kovids suggestion. In DSM, open up the File Station: Installing docker creates a docker folder at the root of your volume. Once everything is done, your existing Calibre library will remain. Navigate to the newly created folder where your Calibre books and information are kept by clicking the Folder icon in the pop-up windows.
