I don't know. It's like that since JMarc introduced it 5 years ago. (http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/13231) >> The problem with the sidebar is: it's not working on Mac with native >> dialogues.

Though I have little hope to find a solution for that I didn't gave up. The pragmatic solution - to copy LyX templates to users home (it's not so much disk space) - was rejected by Pavel. (And I can understand that. :-)) The symlink solution is not platform-agnostic. (And looks like a hack.) The sidebar solution does not work. (At least on Mac. I don't know how it works on Windows.)
