Um, no. This is symptomatic of why people hate using computers.

A typical user has no idea what metadata is. and doesnt need to care.

"Link to my images (do not copy)" or something like that is *way*
better. The crucial point the user needs to understand is that the
images WILL NOT be copied. If they dont get that and then wipe their
camera card, they will be very unhappy.

Does shotwell refuse to link to files on removable storage? if not, it
probably should...
