Hi all,
I use calibre portable version
As far as I know, when open Calibre, drag and drop items from windows explorer to calibre will add the items into Calibre database. The file will be copied, read meta data, ect. However, I found that it is really really slow in the same volume. While after adding, I just want to remove the file in the directory to free up disk space because my books are already in calibre library (located in the folder "calibre portable").

I don't know any method for calibre to just move the books into the library to save them in the database. I have tried to import files to library someway but not successful due to the admin rights or something like that.

Please!

Thank you.
