I know, "it's my lack of understanding"... but Sonar wants to duplicate my imported audio files

Maybe someone has encountered this situation and tell me the "secret" to stop Sonar from duplicating all audio files when create a new project with imported audio files.

I create a new project and import 32 audio files. I think I have done this properly so that Sonar will continue to "reference the audio files from their current location".

Then at some point, after I have already named/saved the project, upon a subsequent save, Sonar decides to copy all the files to my C-drive. 

The fix is easy: I just delete the new duplicates and on next open of project I tell Sonar to find the original files on my external drive.

But I clearly need someone to explain the proper procedure that would avoid me having to delete the duplicates

Maybe this?
