Apparently something weird is going on, but I did not save the configuration.
I saved it some days ago and today I noticed that the preferences file was overwritten:
As you can see a new file was created, and I was asleep at that time.
On a previous occasion I checked with “Time Machine” and noticed that a new file was created every day. I suppose this happens when no pgadmin-window is open in any browser.
As long as I keep the server running, the browser command remains visible in the config window:
The command is also executed correctly when asking for a new window, although the browser command is not longer present in the preferences file.
(I’m still running version 3.x)
Yeah, that implies that the file is being changed from underneath pgAdmin, as it'll only read it on startup iirc.
If you shut down pgAdmin, remove (well, rename) the file, and then leave your machine overnight, does it re-appear?
