I'm thinking of a new way to store the images and saved VMs, too.
Maybe we could make something like vpc: A package with the config,
disk-images and saved VMs, located in ~/Documents/QEMU PCs/
Nice idea.
I would recommend ~/Library/QEMU/PCs as an
alternative. OS X tends to store all of its
program specific configuration information in
the Library folder, which separates it from
actual Documents such as disk images, word
processor files, images, etc.
Just $0.02 from the Peanut Gallery! :)

Yeah but the Library is a obscure place, and
VirtualPC for example uses Documents with
packages inside and I think that is an elegant
way and also will help deal with old users.
Also VPC uses XML for hardware description and
should be easy to make a XML<->XML virtual
machine converter, with along qemu-img will
allow people to convert old VPC machines to
QEMU ones (will be very useful for me).
Besides which, you're not meant to go creating
random folders at the top level of ~/Library/. If
you have a single configuration file, it goes in
~/Library/Preferences/, or if you have a
collection of things, you create a subfolder in
~/Library/Application Support/ and put them there.
I would prefer ~/Documents/QEMU/ rather than
~/Library/Application Support/QEMU/ since the
files stored there will not just be managed
internally by the app; the user will know about
them.
Cheers,
Josh
