That confused me too at first. I expected clicking the dock icon for pgAdmin 4
v3 to open it the second-plus time just the same as it did the first time, but
it didn't.
But I soon discovered that the first launch added an icon to the main menu bar
in the top right section, and that is where you go to tell it to re-open a
window or to shutdown etc.
This then is like lots of other service-oriented programs like Postgresql.app or
Dropbox or many others.
Nevertheless, I believe the app icon in the Finder/Dock should do something
clearly visible to the user such as opening a window that says go to the service
icon in the menu bar.

Hi,
I've upgraded from v2.1 to v3.0 on Mac. I've noticed when I run it I no longer
get the pgAdmin icon in my system dock and the client application launches in
Safari. This is all understandable given the architecture change, but can
anyone explain:
* How do I quit the server app once I've finished with it?
* If I close the browser window, how do I relaunch the client app? (Opening
the application again from its desktop icon does nothing. Do I need to keep
a bookmark to the url?)
* Is it possible to get an icon in the system dock to show the application is
running?
Apologies, these are probably really basic questions, but thanks for pointing me
in the direction of any help.
Kind regards,
Conor McNally
