Uploaded PDFs stay in sitecake-temp directory

#1

When I upload a pdf, the link points to the sitecake-temp directory even after publishing, and even though a copy of the pdf is created in the root/files directory. Is this by design? It make the URL quite verbose.

THIS IS IMPORTANT >>

When a files is uploaded, the generated link is like this:

a href="sitecake-temp/r59fda6b0b802a/draft/files/2017-18-pdf-sc59ff1e3c09fba.pdf" target="_blank"

This link assumes that the page it is created on is in the root directory!

Please patch your code so that it points to /sitecake-temp/ as opposed to sitecake-temp/

Effectively, any file uploaded to a page not in the root directory will just point to the 404 page. Unless the link is modified manually.
