Looks like QtApplication does something different here than QtCoreApplication. >> Stephan, does it work? Note that this is not a regression (2.1 has the >> same code), so it is not really urgent.

This is indeed surprising, and my guess would be that it is "$HOME/Library/Application Support/LyX/LyX“ for LyX started in command line mode, since in this case the same ConsoleApplicatioin is used as for tex2lyx. > The attached path corrects this. Ok to commit? Depends on whether we want to continue to use the current location (then yes), or whether we want to change to the "organization/app" scheme below "Application Support", as qt suggests. Then we'd need to do something else, but you can judge this much better than any other developer, I believe. Georg
