Having multiple versions of LyX should rather be special usecase than the normal one, but anyway. You never thought about copying the LyX2.0 user preferences to LyX2.1 when installing ? If not, do you expect people to customize LyX all over again every time (ok not so often, but you used to have the opinion that all minor releases should be independent of each other). ? Wouldn't it be ok, to have the instaler ask: "Do you want to copy your preferences of the already installed LyX ?" Vincent
