Lots of error messages "Failed to locate image 'Flag, Blue'"

[GerdP]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Start JOSM in a way that you can see the log messages
2. load attached gpx file which was recorded with my Garmin gps device.

What is the expected result?

Not sure. Maybe simply no error message or just one.

What happens instead?

One error message for each way point.

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

The gpx file contains

<sym>Flag, Blue</sym>

for each way point and it seems that JOSM tries to load an image with the name "Flag, Blue.jpg" or "Flag, Blue.svg" in a directory markers whenever this line occurs. This results in many failing disk accesses.

I've learned that I can avoid that message when I create a file "markers\Flag, Blue.svg" in the home directory which contains a valid svg file, e.g. the content of core\resources\images\markers\Crossing.svg.
Is that the intended solution on user side?
Is there a way to get rid of the error message without the extra image? I prefer the simple violet x which is displayed when no image is found.
