Avoid media syncing?

[jasonmhoule]

v1.3 introduces media syncing, addressing #20. (It seems to me this is not strictly enabled with v1.3 plugin since my wiki still uses v1.2.2, but the media syncing still occurs.)

Is there a way to avoid media syncing? I have a considerable number of images in my flashcards, which I host on a cloud bucket & I am ok with the need to have internet to display these. Syncing images to Anki media causes my wiki sync procses (which I try to do relatively frequently) to slow down significantly. I would love to have a way (even if some workaround is needed on my end) to avoid media syncing and leave the <img> tags pointing to the cloud URL.
