Migrating to new PC ... AppData Qu 2...

[Richard Flack]

Lightroom Version Number

LR Classic CC

Operating System

1. Windows 10

Another question, I'm afraid.
Looking at AppData\Adobe there are other folders than Lightroom. Should I copy them all. CameraRaw is a Yes, I'd assume. But theres quite a few others.
At this point I have only re-installed Lightroom; but will a be doing Adobe DC fairly soom, and later on on Photoshop.

Victoria has it covered here: How do I move Lightroom to a new computer?

I didnt see any reference to the other folders in AppData\...\Adobe\...
I'll look again.

Read Victoria's book on the subject, but if it were me, I'd just copy the preferences folder. On Windows there are here

Ah I don't have the book (yet .... ) but just looked at the web page.
AppData\Local isnt so bad to deal with, as theres only the two sub folders. I did actually copy cache across as well.

Its AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom that's more problematic, with a very large number of subfolders. Thigs like 'Export Presets' 'Web Templates' etc.
And one up form that, the Roaming\Adobe folder has a lot of sub folders also. Like CoreSync, LensCorrection, Color to name but three.
