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.
Since nobody else seems to experience this problem, it’s probbaly related to my specific set-up.
Regards,
P. De Visschere
Hi
Dave,
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:
<pgadmin.jpeg>
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:
<pgadmin_config.jpeg>
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?
