Public bug reported:

A feature request, although not exactly sure if a bug/issue
If a skin is deleted, and a skin is re-imported, the background images are also re-imported.
This can be visually confusing for users (see attached image: multiple_copies_images.png) as it creates multiple copies of the same image. I know the image files have unique background identifiers, its just that many users will get confused, especially if they are learning to use skins and go to delete a file and accidentally delete the one their skin is using.
Is it possible to have a folder automatically created on upload of an image called 'page-skins' for background image purposes?
Or have it so that it recognises the image is already there, maybe?
