I've seen no problem with Lightroom sucking up images from wherever I
wanted to pull them. If I shoot hand-held I do it directly off the card.
If I shoot in the studio now I save the images directly to the server
and LR imports from there, before the network reached to the studio I
saved to the laptop, then copied from the laptop to the server. I've
used every version from the first public beta through 2.6 (I may give
myself 3.0 for Christmas, now that I'm running Win7) and I've never seen
LR care what volume it imported images from.
I've never uninstalled LR, I've always ended up with several versions on
each machine. Heck, it looks like I've got just about all the Windows
installers and a handful of the Mac ones on the server. (Windows
installers have gone from 22.1 MB in 2007 to 149 MB for 2.7.)
I do avoid multi-format card readers as I hate having all those extra
drive letters pop up. I do (grudgingly) allow Lightroom to keep its
catalog in my profile on C:\, but the actual image store is always on a
dedicated share on the file server.
