This pull request fixes an issue mentioned in #95 where files created by SplitSelf were written to user's home directory instead of the Desktop on Linux systems.
Problem
FileSystemView.getFileSystemView().getHomeDirectory()does not resolve to the Desktop folder in Linux.This result in
begin.txtbeing created at~/instead of~/DesktopReference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/570401/in-java-under-windows-how-do-i-find-a-redirected-desktop-folder#comment10308923_570536
Solution
Added a simple helper method to resolve the Desktop directory. On Windows it keeps the current behavior. and on Linux/macOS it points to
~/DesktopChanges
