OrchardCore_Media__AssetsPaths says it supports absolute paths but doesn't about orchardcore HOT 2 CLOSED

I have a customer wanting to do an on-prem IIS install and I'm hoping to make the root folder stateless, much like I do in Azure App Service with OrchardCore.Media.Azure, OrchardCore.DataProtection.Azure, and OrchardCore.Shells.Azure. I was approaching the problem by trying to move those folders individually (like App Service) but thanks for pointing out ShellOptions.ShellsApplicationDataPath. That seems like a better direction for me. I'll try that approach.

I'm not sure how this could actually work well. I think rather the docs should be fixed.

With the current logic, this config is a path under the configurable App_Data, and under a tenant-specific folder.

If we were to actually allow absolute paths, then we'd either need to somehow also support (or guard against) putting all Media files for all tenants into the same folder, or we'd need to add tenant-specific folder under it. In the latter case, the semantics of the config would be different in the absolute and relative case, or we'd need to introduce a new config for the absolute one.

In the interim, configuring ShellOptions.ShellsApplicationDataPath isn't suitable for you BTW?
