Re: Change browser in MacOS

Dave,

I removed all pgadmin-related .plist’s file in ~/Library.
When starting the server my modified Browser command was still present (but no .plist file).
I shutted down/started it up several times, logged out and in, still no .plist file: the Browser command is stored somewhere else. I couldn’t find it, it’s not in my user directory, maybe in a (python) cache somewhere.

Only when I modified the Browser command, an org.pgadmin.pgadmin4.plist file was created. It looks very much like the previous one but now has an entry with the Browser command:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>ApplicationPath</key>
<string></string>
<key>Browser.Geometry</key>
<data>
...
</data>
<key>Browser.LastSaveLocation</key>
<string>...</string>
<key>Browser.WindowState</key>
<data>
...
</data>
<key>BrowserCommand</key>
<string>open -a /Applications/Safari.app %URL%</string>
<key>FixedPort</key>
<false/>
<key>NSNavLastRootDirectory</key>
<string>~/Downloads</string>
<key>NSNavPanelExpandedSizeForSaveMode</key>
<string>...</string>
<key>NSStatusItem Preferred Position Item-0</key>
<real>...</real>
<key>PortNumber</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>PythonPath</key>
<string></string>
</dict>
</plist>

I hope it’ll stick now.

Thanks
