You can import the file into lightroom i.e. create a catalogue, and
ask LR to physically leave your file alone i.e. where you put it in
the first place.
So what's the trouble?
I don't do that anyway, too lazy I presume, I simply let LR import the
files from the card and convert it to DNG - all the files are
automatically sorted by date in daily subfolders in "my images".
I can find any shot in two seconds if I know where, or with which
camera, or even which lens etc. thanks to a very convenient database
and queries.
On top of this, my files are not corrupted by the changes I make,
and the original is preserved thanks to the side-car file containing
the data of the alterations.
I can't make out why you're still reluctant to it all.
When you drive a car, do you really need to now where the clogs are
positioned at every point? and what the torque is at that precise
moment... I guess you watch the road as most of us do ;-)
