I only use Photos.app as a browser of all my images.
I unselected the copy items to the Photos library so my files can live in my hard drive and I don't duplicate them inside the Photos Library.photoslibrary archive.
I use Image Capture to import the iPhone pictures to a folder and after I used to imported to Photos.app and everything was great.
But now with Live photos I get two files for each picture, the picture and the little movie that makes the Live part possible. The problem is that if I try to import them to Photos.app, it doesn't recognise them.
Is there any way to import the picture with the Live functionality to the app without duplicating the content?

You have to import the two files of the same picture (the photo and the video) with the same name.
Photos will recognise them as a live picture then.
