Large collections of files

Hi,

I'm a photography geek, die hard history of photography buff, and as such I have ammaseed a very large collection of pdfs with photos and or information.
All from public domain or from manufacurers hompages.

I also happen to be an electronics newbie and have dowloaded quite a lot of data cheets and old public domain books on the early days of electronics.

I like calibres way of doing things.

What I dont like is that it copies files.

I want it to move the file from where it is in to Calibres db/filethingamajig and remove it from the folder it was copied from.

Reason for this is my former archive was a mess, one folder and a crapp load of pdfs.

If calibre copies them into its own database, that is perfect, what is not perfect is that I dont want files at two places on my drive since space is an issue. it can not hold two copies of the collection.

Is this even a possibility?

Thanks for bearing with me, I know people ask about the copy thing before but most seem to want to use Calibre as an indexer only, which I am not interested in. If this is Off Topic, or if there is a thread about it (I have searched but not found one) please point me in the right direction .

Than you for your time
