I'm thinking of a new way to store the images and saved VMs, too.
Maybe we could make something like vpc: A package with the config,
disk-images and saved VMs, located in ~/Documents/QEMU PCs/
Nice idea.
I would recommend ~/Library/QEMU/PCs as an alternative. OS X tends
to store all of its program specific configuration information in
the Library folder, which separates it from actual Documents such
as disk images, word processor files, images, etc.
Just $0.02 from the Peanut Gallery! :)

Yeah but the Library is a obscure place, and VirtualPC for example
uses Documents with packages inside and I think that is an elegant
way and also will help deal with old users.
Also VPC uses XML for hardware description and should be easy to
make a XML<->XML virtual machine converter, with along qemu-img will
allow people to convert old VPC machines to QEMU ones (will be very
useful for me).
Besides which, you're not meant to go creating random folders at the
top level of ~/Library/. If you have a single configuration file, it
goes in ~/Library/Preferences/, or if you have a collection of things,
you create a subfolder in ~/Library/Application Support/ and put them
there.
I would prefer ~/Documents/QEMU/ rather than ~/Library/Application
Support/QEMU/ since the files stored there will not just be managed
internally by the app; the user will know about them.
Cheers,
Josh
