XTension decided that I'm not a paid user.

[James Sentman]

It’s no bother :) It’s a problem with having everything in the database and supporting having the database next to the application. If you startup from a different location then it won’t find your existing settings and serial. But if I move that info to the application support or preferences folder then in order to truly backup or move your XTension from one machine to another you would have to move more files from more places. So it’s a tradeoff. Because most existing users still do it that way we still support putting the application anywhere you like and putting the database next to it there, even though this is very anti-mac like now days. If you place XTension in the Application folder then it will put everything into the application support folder and behave like any other mac app that finds itself in the application folder.

I’m not sure there is a 100% fix for this that would solve all the potential problems, so right now we do a little bit of both depending.
