[Qgis-user] nightly build has lost user profile

[gene]

The .qgis or .qgis2 folders contains only the plugins (in
/.qgis/python/plugins) and the SQLite file(/.qgis/qgis.db) which contains
only the projections. The custom general settings (layout, PostGIS, wms,
etc.) are saved in:

    - Linux: settings are saved in a text file:
$HOME/.config/QuantumGIS/qgis.conf
    - Mac OS X: settings are saved in a plist file:
$HOME/Library/Preferences/org.qgis.qgis.plist
    - Windows: settings are stored in the registry

Using Mac OS X and as this version uses a new folder ~/.qgis2 for plugins
and a new qgis.db and as I did not want to reinstall all the plugins, rather
than copy, I created symbolic links in the .qgis2 folder pointing to .qgis 

   ln -s /Users/me/.qgis/plugins  /Users/me/.qgis2/plugins
   ln -s /Users/me/.qgis/qgis.db /Users/me/.qgis2/qgis.db

and it works 

The old customisation file is  in
/Users/me/Library/Preferences/org.qgis.QGIS.plist and I did the same thing:

  ln -s org.qgis.QGIS.plist org.qgis.QGIS2.plist

and everything works perfectly, without incompatibilities
