SUMMARY
A first instance of Marknote, installed portably from .7z file, worked as expected. The files of this instance were fully deleted.
A second instance of Marknote on the same machine, installed portably from .7z file, will not create any Notebooks or Notes after changing the Notes Directory. 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Install Marknote portably from .7z. It works nicely to create notebooks and notes.
2.  Delete that instance of Marknote.
3.  Install Marknote portably from .7z on the same machine.
4. Change the Notes Directory to a USB-drive location.


OBSERVED RESULT
No Notebooks or Notes can be created. 

EXPECTED RESULT
Notebooks and Notes can be created.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows 11 25H2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
See attached screenshot showing that Notebooks and Notes have been designated via interface but are not actually created.

Further info:
1. There is nothing special about the USB drive location; it is fully accessible.
2. Even if the Notes Directory is subsequently changed to any folder (local, USB, network, etc.) in this state, the result is the same.
