Describe the bug
Even if a pageFolder path is set to exclude subdirectories, and the content of the sub directories does not show in the Content dashboard, the folders and media of the subdirectories still shows in the Media dashboard

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Set this in frontmatter.json and populate subfolders:

  "frontMatter.content.pageFolders": [
    {
      "title": "Pages",
      "path": "[[workspace]]/content",
      "excludeSubdir": true
    },
    {
      "title": "Blog",
      "path": "[[workspace]]/content/blog"
    },
    {
      "title": "About Page",
      "path": "[[workspace]]/content/about"
    }
  ],

Open Media dashboard and see under PAGES all the subdirectories.

Expected behavior
Media dashboard obeys exclude subdirectory settings

@anakinsleftleg, this is actually how the feature is designed. Its purpose is to create groups for your content. More information on the original request can be found here: https://github.com/estruyf/vscode-front-matter/issues/174

The media dashboard will, by default, show all of the content.

That original feature is clear enough, and works, but doesn't address the media display. It seems confusing and cluttered to have the same folders in different locations.

Also seems like it would be less confusing to not list ALL subfolders, but to traverse as a tree. If I have an /images/ folder in all of my blog page bundles, then how would i know which one to select?
