My bad, I didn't realize the .bat file is how you were supposed to use this tool. I assumed it was going to be a plugin, but clearly not yet.

(And hey, using the portability aspect of calibre-portable isn't actually relevant at the moment. )

Also you could try editing the .bat and changing the line
Code:
calibre-debug -e "%ProgDir%ebookscramble.py" "%FileIn%"
to
Code:
F:\path_to_calibre_port\calibre-debug -e "%ProgDir%ebookscramble.py" "%FileIn%"
Or something similar. Where are the OS techies when you need them?
ETA: I take it all back, he arrived before I did.
Editing the .bat will do it, or you could also move the python script and the .bat file into the program directory of your calibre portable installation.
