Does anyone know where OS X's Finder saves the desktop position of network share icons?
I noticed through the various iterations of Mojave that after awhile the Finder will no longer save where I position a network share icon on the desktop. When I place it where I want, unmount, then subsequently remount shares, they get positioned at their 'default' position, which is the next "available" volume position on the far right.
But doing a complete clean install with manual file migration I regain the ability to retain these positions. Eventually though, over the course of months, it happens again and it won't retain where I want them to show up. Doing a clean install is just too drastic and disruptive to fix such a relatively minor inconvenience, but due to my OCD, not having the ability to have your icon positions retained goes beyond irksome.
I'd like to examine the file that the Finder stores these settings to see if it or its permissions are getting corrupted.
I don't think OS X uses the .DS_Store database file for individual preferences of network shares. And I don't recall ever running into this problem pre-Mojave.
Any ideas?
