I added an absolute symlink referencing a library (Media) on another drive to D:\Sandpit\Calibre-3-xx, started calibre-portable, pointed it at the Media symlink via Switch/Create - and there was my Media library

Closed calibre portable and started it again - and there was my Media library.

You must put any additional libraries in the "Calibre Portable" folder, not in sub-folders - i.e. not in "Calibre Portable\tmp".

FTR: you can rename the Calibre Portable folder, and have more than one - I have three. Calibre-1-48, Calibre-2-85, and Calibre-3-xx.
