Setting the initial library for Calibre Portable to load
Software: Calibre Portable v5.44 running on Linux

I am wondering how to get Calibre Portable to startup opening the library "Novels" (see screen shot of directory structure attached below). Currently, it always starts up opening "CalibreLibrary" which is not a library itself (just a directory that contains libraries), and then I have to manually select "Novels" (or "Reference"). Which works fine, but it's an extra step at startup that I'd just as soon avoid.

Is there a setting within Calibre Portable to specify the initial library to open? Or is it possible to rearrange/rename my directory structure to cause "Novels" to be opened by default? All of these libraries are within the Calibre Portable directory structure (no symlinks, no NFS mounts, etc.)
