Hi All. It seems that having a version of LyX working poperly on OS X 10.6 may require some time.

Do you confirm that the only feature not working properly is autosave?

That has been my observation.

Do you confirm that by disabling autosave LyX 1.6.4.1 works all right on MAC OS X 10.6?

No. It seems that even by disabling autosave, LyX still attempts to perform autosaving and the "crash" still occurs. However, this is little more than an annoyance since the app doesn't actually crash and no work is lost.

If so, would you please remind us how to disable autosave?
