I think this is a consequence of the fix for https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11313 The addition of the version suffix was not intended and caused several problems. > 2) the new version will not use the earlier version's user directory > "LyX2.3" but rather just LyX. That's immediately connected to the above. However, there is a method in configure.py (checkUpgrade()) that is used by the Mac to copy contents from previous user dirs (LyX on Mac uses the version suffixes). A similar method could be used to copy the contents of LyX2.3 to LyX. > I am pretty sure that 2) is a bug.

I agree. Or it should simply remove the prefixed binaries (maybe after a warning). Jürgen > > Daniel
