Portable Library Location
Something weird happened today, I've been using Portable 6 along with Portable 5 where my library is, for a few weeks and every time I started 6, I had to tell it the library was in my Portable Calibre 5 folder. Today when I started 6, it already knew where the library was in my Calibre 5 folder. I just updated to 6.17 and I checked the change log and nothing was noted that Portable Library didn't have to be in the Calibre folder anymore. Is this new behavior or did I screw up my 6.17 update?

Portable can use any Library, but it only remembers the internal (folder locations).
No remembering External (to that installations version) Libraries |

I know but when I open my 6.17 Portable it uses my C:\Data\Calibre Portable\Calibre Library without my having to point it away from the internal library, that didn't happen before I installed 6.17. Every time I opened 6 before 6.17 I had to point it to my Calibre 5 library where all of my books are. I've started 6.17 5 or 6 times today and never had to point it to the real location of my library. Also if I open choose your own library it shows the library open is C:\Data\Calibre Portable\Calibre Library that's my Calibre 5 Portable Folder I have Calibre 6 in C:\Data\Calibre 6\Calibre Portable I have Calibre 5 in C:\Data\Calibre Portable I'm not complaining I actually like this behavior but I just wanted to point it out.
