Dave,

When the server is not running the .plist file is not overwritten (at 00:59);
I’ve then renamed the .plist file. When I start the server again no .plist file appears. The config window stills contains my custom Browser Command; A new .plist file is generated when I change this command and click OK.

The .plist file contains among other things the Browser.LastSaveLocation. My new .plist file as well as the overwritten one contain a location which is nearly a year old. I don’t know what specific location is saved here but I have saved .sql and .csv files in the mean time.

pgadmin4 must be storing information somewhere else and I’ve not been able to find that location: it’s not within my user directory as far as I can see.

The .plist file is overwritten at 00:59, which is when a backup is scheduled. But lots of other things happen at that time, e.g. switchting of system.log files …
I’ll check next what happens if no backup is scheduled.

I honestly have no idea what's going on here. "LastSaveLocation" was
only used until v3.0 of pgAdmin 4 (when the entire file that it was
part of was removed as part of the change to use the system's web
browser), so unless you're using 2.x or 1.x, I don't see any way that
it's possible for pgAdmin to write that to the plist file.

Since nobody else seems to experience this problem, it’s probbaly related to my specific set-up.

I think it must be. Something - I have no idea what - is apparently
replacing the file with a very old version.
