Enable functionality to choose name of created shortcut #501

There does not seem to be any feature that allows you to set the exact name of the created shortcut in a JNLP file. Could this be implemented?

Background: I am having an issue where if the user renames an old JNLP-generated desktop shortcut, OWS appears to interpret this as a desktop shortcut not existing and will therefore ask the user create a new desktop shortcut.

Yes this is the behavior of OWS as it is infeasible to find all shortcuts if a user renames/moves them. The name of the shortcut is determined by the <title> tag in the JNLP file. If no title is present then the name of the file JNLP file is taken
