Hi,
I'm moving my Lightroom install to a new hard drive - the internal HDD on my Macbook pro is on its last legs. I've moved computers a couple times in the past, and I feel like I've missed something each time.

Using Mac OSX 10.7.

1) The .lrcat and library of images are easy - I'll just move them to an external drive, then back into the same place on the new drive.
2) I have a couple of plugins that I think I can reinstall without any problem.
3) Saved presets? Where are these? I have some export presets, some watermark presets, some adjustment brush presets, some print presets. Haven't moved these in the past.
4) Publish services. In the past when I've moved my LR installation, all the folders in my publish services collection are reset, or at a minimum are emptied.

..what else am I missing?

Thanks.

Thanks, this was perfect. Moved that whole folder, and it even kept all my Publish collections, which I have lost the last two times.
