With LR you copy from the card to the hard disk at the same time that you import it.

It doesn't sell itself as anything else. I don't understand what you want to do with the file where you would just keep it on the card, except perhaps to print and delete it, in which case fair enough, Lightroom's not the right tool, but it doesn't sell itself as that. > I love Lightroom.
