identity of app as folder

Hi, is it possible to start the app made in love and do not create the typical identity folder in appdata/roaming/LOVE/appName ?
Because i have an app that does not need to store any information in the save directory. Never ever. Just a thing that plays something on the screen.

:-) I did read the API a lot of times. Please understand. Maybe there is workaround this. It is not a BUG. I look for a feature if there is one.
1) make small app that does nothing at all just a window and no write to any file
2) look if there is identity folder created in appdata/roaming/love/
3) there is, this is automatic then without any way to disable this behaviour?

use a conf.lua file:
Config_Files
if you set identity to nil there, as the example shows, i think it won't create the folder automatically unless you try to write to a file.

Confirmed. If conf.identity=nil then the app will not create any folder in the savedirectory. Thanks! :-)
