At least that is what currently seems to be implemented.

If no project specific configuration is given (i.e., just startup eeschema without any file) a kicad.pro template is searched in the search paths and the first one found would get copied to some default (preferences) location and used.
As far as I have seen the method that should do copying just bails out because no destination is given.
This leads to creating the very default “eeschema Preferences” (on OS X, don’t know about behaviour on Linux or Windows), which then always gets used/updated (as long as no project specific .pro file is there) instead of the default/template kicad.pro.


Regards,
Bernhard
