2.) The new icons on originally free places?

User question:
The program works, but what I find very bad is: If since the last Icon-Backup new icons were added and the icons are messed up, DesktopOK is not able to reposition the known icons and the new icons to originally free To push places.

Answer:
No, a free space is chosen, but after that you can save the desktop icons again.
Or activate the autosave. So many users even have the place to the stop full of icons.
