After I updated to Mojave 10.14.2 from 10.14.1, when I try to put a photo on the desktop to send to someone it goes to trash instead of the desktop. The only way I can get it on the desktop is to make an untitled floor, put the photo in it and then move it to the desktop or go to the trash and tell it to "Put back". Then the photo appears on the desktop like normal. Before the update to MacOS 10.14.2 the photo went directly to the desktop. Please explain.


Finally after restarting and reseting the PRAM all woads well.
