Обсуждение: Open pgAdmin in browser
Hi, Previously pgAdmin opened as a tab in my browser, which is great. Now it always opens in its own window. Is there a setting somewhere to get back the old behavior so that it opens in my browser again? Thanks, Trung
Trung Do,
You know I think you are the *only* person I've heard from that actually liked the old behaviour. ;)
I believe the only way is to either:
- revert to an earlier version (not really recommended)
- use pgAdmin4 in **server** mode as opposed to desktop mode
I hope that helps,
rik.

Hi Trung,
From pgAdmin4 v5.0 and above version, pgAdmin desktop will open in a browser-less standalone NWJS container.
If you still want to use it in a browser, then you have to use it in a server mode. Refer - https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/5.1/server_deployment.html for more details.

Thank you Richard and Rahul, I will try that. The reason I dislike the current standalone window is it has too many annoyances: - When it was in a browser tab I can open multiple instances of pgAdmin in multiple tabs and switch between different servers very easily. Now I don't even think I can open multiple instances of the standalone app. - If I accidentally close the app window now (which I do all the time), re-launching it takes 10 seconds instead of instantly like when it was a browser tab - The standalone app doesn't remember the window size, it resets to default every time. - Currently there is a bug where upon opening the app it would get stuck on the "Loading pgAdmin 4" screen until I minimize then un-minimize the app. Trung On Thu, 3 Jun 2021 at 10:55, Rahul Shirsat <rahul.shirsat@enterprisedb.com> wrote: > > Hi Trung, > > From pgAdmin4 v5.0 and above version, pgAdmin desktop will open in a browser-less standalone NWJS container. > > If you still want to use it in a browser, then you have to use it in a server mode.

Trung,
Yes, I can see how that would be annoying. Hopefully the development team can address these issues in future versions.

p.s. As for the last issue, you don't actually have to minimize the window, just moving it a bit will refresh the display. It isn't actually stuck, it just looks like it.

un-minimize the app.
