I just imagined a symbolic link would be quicker. I have tested a hard link now and it seems to work fine. I am deleting the link/s at the end of the session/s. I think a link is better than a move, because there is always a possibility I might somehow delete the moved file and then I would lose the original one. Thanks for your help.
