Description
## Visual Studio Version
17.12.3
## Summary
When adding a file such as an image to a resources file contained within a project sub-folder using the new editor, the .resx file is generated with an incorrect path.
## Steps to Reproduce
1. Create a new class library project.
2. Add a new folder inside the project.
3. Add a resources file inside the folder.
4. Add an existing file or image to the resource file.
5. The project will not build due to an error finding the file.
## Expected Behavior
The file should be referenced from the root Resources folder and available to use when referencing the resource file.
## Actual Behavior
The project now fails to build, as the path within the .resx file is relative to the sub-folder the resources file is in, but the actual file is placed in a "Resources" folder in the project root.
## User Impact
Requires manually editing the generated resx.
