The whole point of exporting the Calibre library from the F drive to the D drive was to have the Calibre portable install use the exported library. I had assumed that it would be entirely separate, that the portable would be 100% independent, effectively unaware of another Calibre library Instead, it ignores the library it imported. Why?

A bit odd. My calibre portable install uses the library folder that I created after the install. When you click on Switch/create library, what does it show for the current location of your library? If it isn't the folder you imported your exported library into, what happens when you browse to that folder and try the "use the previously existing library at the new location" option?
