You dragged the AstroPlanner app to your Applications folder, right?  
Even if you already had a folder in there called "AstroPlanner", it  
should get overwritten, since the application is called  
AstroPlanner.app (although the extension is probably hidden on your  
system).

What was in the AstroPlanner folder? V1?

AstroPlanner V2 keeps all its stuff in ~/Library/Application Support/ 
AstroPlanner/, not in the Applications folder.

No. AstroPlanner V2 _always_ uses the above folder. It ignores where  
it's running from.

You can use the V1-to-V2 Converter app on your V1 files.

I have not seen this behaviour myself (yet). I don't have much of a  
clue what's going on (assuming I understand the problem).
