    1921JOSM stores 3 kinds of files in different directories:

    5355Since r11162, JOSM uses the [https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html XDG Base Directory Specification] for fresh installations, i.e.
     
    6769Note on hidden files: File names beginning with a dot are hidden on Linux. To show the contents of the hidden folder, use the file manager and enter "~/.josm" in the address line (if no address line is visible just try to enter a letter and hopefully a popup to enter the address will open). Alternatively, it is possible to "show hidden" files and folders in the file manager, using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+H.

    9799Instead of specifying the full path for the JOSM directories, you can use the system property `-Djosm.dir.name=` to modify just the name of the last directory component, which is `JOSM` by default. This is especially useful in order to keep multiple ''profiles'' on one computer, which should not interfere. For example, to have one profile for productive work with the stable tested version and one for the experimental development version, you would start the development version like this:
