[#15088] - keep media on the same path for article editing

Steps to reproduce the issue
Not an "issue" but an important usability feature. When ever a user want to end images to an article body, a click on "add image" opens the root to the media directory (images/ or images/stories) so if I want to add 10 images to an article, I need to, again and again, navigate from the root folder to the folder where I uploaded the image (to keep things organized) so for for example, I need to navigate again and again to images/stories/audi/a3/2017/a3-2017..... long process to update an article.
Expected result
As long as the user editing the article, the media popup will be open at the same place where the user last visited. So in my example, if I edit article X and my images for this article are at images/A/B/C I will always be back to the same folder as along as I edit this article.
Actual result
System information (as much as possible)
3.6.5

@ch2856 you can use: https://github.com/dgt41/imageUploaderHelper and have the custom structure that you need.
@brianteeman this is already implemented in J4, in J3 is a bit more difficult to do, I;ll have a look at it this weekend
I was about to do a PR today, the code is quite simple, but I figure out when testing it that there might be a very serious implication since the field could have a predefined path:
directory (mandatory) is the directory from which the user will be able to choose a file. This attribute should be relative to the top level /images/ folder.So the question is in case such an option is defined what should be the expected behaviour:
- keep the original folder (disregard any user selection)
- override the path and set the one in session storage
- check if the session stored path is deeper level from the predefined path and either use it or disregard it

Tested in Joomla 4 and it works there
I would close this issue as we fixed it in J4 and in J3 we will never do it anyway as it needs a bigger change.
This should be closed as the Media Manager keeps the last opened directory
