Hi Dave,

Understood. I don’t think anyone expects you do that much work; I think we were just expecting/hoping it would be a recompile with a different switch sort of thing.

Updating to 64bit would require a huge amount of work to first get the code working properly with wxWidgets 3, and then to move to Cocoa rather than Carbon.

It’s not a good use of time given how unmaintainable (and out of date) that code has become - it’s definitely not something I have time to do I’m afraid. Time would be far better spend filling the remaining gaps in pgAdmin 4 (whatever they are - we’ve addressed the majority that were reported).

+1 - thanks for the heads-up, Bill. I was just about to upgrade, but I guess I’ll hold off until they respond to this request.

Hello,

 

I recently upgraded my Mac to the latest version of macOS. Now, when I run pgadmin3, I get a message that it needs to be recompiled, apparently for 64bit.

 

Is there a plan to rebuild pgadmin3 for macOS Mojave?

 

I know you’re rather bullish on #4, but it still isn’t up the the usability and usefullness of pgadmin3. It would be great to have the working pgadmin rebuilt for 64 bits while we wait for #4 to mature.

 

(And, yes, pgadmin3 is indeed getting a bit long in the tooth, but it is still vastly more performant, and a much better UI than pgdamin4. #4 is pretty, though.)
