why does quelea move the files to the quelea\vid folder?

Currently i´m organizing a background vid library in my User\Videos\ folder
but when accessing a background video quelea´s default path is the quelea\vid 
folder.
So, the videos are duplicated and practically i can´t organize them...

Simply speaking, because we ran into many cases when we first implemented video 
backgrounds where people were adding them, then removing the video file later 
(such as adding it from a pendrive then removing it) - so the behaviour wasn't 
as people expected, and copying the video was a way to get around this.

We might be able to do something a bit cleverer such as checking if the 
original file exists and only falling back to the copy if it doesn't - that 
might be a good "best of both worlds" approach?
