[Feature Request]: clean up the media mess

[atomGit]

Feature Description

media files can be copied to 3 locations, the media subfolders of input, output and preview

why not just symlink the media folder?

I will consider this, because it could reduce amount of IO operations during rendering/sync. Probably we will be able to do it effectively for preview only, but still - it will make preview faster for larger websites.

There are some edge-cases:

• situation when user uses manual deployment and modifies the website - it can lead to situation when some assets are missing before uploading files. Most probably we must copy
• some files are not copied to the output media assets (e.g. media files for draft posts)

Above issues are not a problem for preview

thanks - much appreciated

This feature will be available in v.0.45 for preview mode
