I wonder if the application name should also have "2" in it? Otherwise, to get a side-by-side install of 1.8 and 2 you'd have to configure a different prefix. Though I guess a different prefix would be best on linux to keep all the support files separate. I could at least change the OS X app to "QGIS 2", since support files are by nature isolated for an app, then it could be placed in the standard /Applications folder alongside QGIS 1.8. I don't know how an app is organized on Windows, if it needs a different install path or different app name. ----- William Kyngesburye <kyngchaos*at*kyngchaos*dot*com> http://www.kyngchaos.com/ "Mon Dieu! but they are all alike.
