How can I identify that Zotfile is included in the profile I'm copying? Is there a file name to look for?

while zotero 5.0 has sped up (now, I assume, that it's finished syncing) I'm also having 2 separate problems, running Zotero Standalone 5.0 with Zotfile 5.0 on Windows 7:

Now, in the case of standalone beta 5 I copied/pasted the profile content from old account "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Zotero\Zotero\", however just some settings were restored. I had Zotfile

which was why I was stuck at 4.0.28) and Zotfile 5.0 (hoping I did the renaming of the .zip file as .xpi right - it has loaded up in Zotfile OK), and so far it's *so* slow (on Windows 7) as to basica

I use Zotero 4 as standalone on both Windows and Mac. The Zotero-DB is synced via Zotero, attachments via Dropbox (relative path setting). I have the extension ZotFile installed.
