My question is...
Is there a way to have Calibre add the book information into my library, but not copy the physical file other than using the "Add Empty Book" and then manually filling out the information?

What I am really looking for is a "Add Books from a single directory - but don't copy the physical file" type option.

Thanks,

You found the only way: Add empty books.
