Enable the option to use an existing copy of an input file instead of creating a new copy using "Select file"

[Google Code Exporter]

When "Select file" is used it creates a new copy of the input file in the same 
backend working space.

Although for copying a file ~3GB file took ~10 minutes, we envisage that when 
input files are more than 100GB this step will potentially become a limiting 
factor, particularly, if there is only a limited storage capacity for running 
yabi.

Suggestion:

Instead of creating the directory '1 - select file' containing a duplicated 
copy of the input, point the next tool to retrieve the data from the existing 
directory containing the input file(s).

In the interim we can use local copy options to mitigate this.
