Description
It's frustrating having to manually move art assets into the Tiled asset folders before importing them into the Tiled Project. This problem arises when using Tiled in a git repo as part of a CI pipeline where the file paths to asset files must originate inside the Tiled project.
A solution I would love to see is an option to automatically copy any imported art asset tile sheet or object, into the asset folders.
This would help art/environment teams manage a single 'bible' for art assets used in Tiled without fear of importing from a path on their local machines into the git repo.
