Well, sorry for that, I didn't mean to "sneak the patch in"..
But I didn't plan to submit patches for actually opening a saved query
with a double-click before 1.4 was branched. I just wanted to make
pgAdmin3 announce the extension .sql, and provide an icon for it -
something I more or less consider to be part of "behaving like a good
osx citizen". That pgAdmin3 now actually starts when double-clicking a
saved query (Well, at least if you named your file *.sql) is more a
byproduct of announcing the type in the Info.plist, and providing an Icon.
It's up to you, of course, to decide how to go forward with this.
My plan would be to fix the "add .sql extension to filename" bug
for 1.4, but to leave the "open query with double-click" thing
for 1.4.1 at least. I belive the Info.plist changes I sent are still
ok for 1.4 - even if it's a bit strange that pgadmin will startup on
double-clicking a file, but won't actually open the query. If you
deem that behaviour unacceptably, then I could try to figure out
how to prevent it.
