14815	Option not to create a desktop alias	macfreek	team	"==== Summary ====
On Mac OS X, JOSM always creates an alias to itself on the Desktop (~/Desktop/).
I wish there was an option to turn this behaviour of ([#ps I like a clean desktop]).

==== What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Remove any desktop alias ([[span(style=font-size: 70%; color: gray,`rm ~/Desktop/*` works for me, though you may want to use a `rm -i` yourself just to make sure you don't delete your wifes/moms cooking class documents which she inexplicably stores on the Desktop of your computer. Don't say I didn't warn you.)]])
2. Open JOSM
3. Close JOSM

==== What is the expected result?
I expect my Desktop to be as clean as my underwear.

==== What happens instead?
~~My underw.... no, wait, who brought that up?.~~
My Desktop however is spoiled by a newly created file, called JOSM, which is a MacOS Alias file, pointing to the location of the JOSM application.

==== My wishes ====
I would again become a perfectly happy human being once there would be an option in the advanced preferences of JOSM where I can once-and-for-all this desktop-littering behaviour of JOSM.

==== Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.
