Lost All Settings - How To Restore?

Unfortunately, my drive failed and I had to reformat and install a fresh copy. I of course had all my chartbooks backed up, but there is a lot of "customization" in the interface that is gone. I do have a copy of Sierra on another machine I can probably rescue stuff from, if I know what to rescue.

What files do I need to restore to get things like my targets (attached orders), all my context menu additions (I added a bunch of tools to my context menus), tool configuration (colors, etc), study collections and all that kind of stuff? I guess this stuff isn't stored in the chartbook files since they were restored just fine.

Thanks for any help you can provide. Once I find out what files I need, I will make sure to include them in future backups (I have a systemd job that backs my Sierra charts up every hour). Running on Linux under Wine.

P.S. Sure hope we see a native Linux release sometime :-)
