@Dave Page I think Khushboo linked a screenshot with the settings

I’m on my phone so can’t provide details, but some browsers offer command line
options you can use in the config dialog to use a new window. In some, you may
need to settle for an alternate profile.

I see. I actually appreciate that pgAdmin is in a web browser, just that it was
frustrating that it opens in a new tab instead of a window. But I guess it is
impossible to make all users happy so I will rest my case for now.
In any case, a brief look at the code[1] seems to suggest that it may not be
trivial to implement my request.
Thanks for the feedback anyway! 🙇🏻‍♂️

yep, exactly. The code for that is already in the repository. But there are a
few considerations to be made such as launching and waiting for the python
server to be up when the window is opened, ensuring the port number is fixed or
matches the one used by the server and some sort of secret key exchange and
context menus.

I think this would be a lot easier, as you are just basically wrapping a
browser with a fixed URL address.Â

The people who want it don't want a browser window, they want an independent
standalone application that is not affected by what they might do with the

 Thanks for sharing the plans for electron.
In my feature suggestion for a new window, I am not referring to a new window
using electron, but instead I meant a new window in the existing web browser.
I am unfamiliar with the effort needed for electron integration. But I suspect
that opening a new window in an existing web browser should be much more easily
achievable.

Thanks for the suggestion!. That is very useful, and would work for me as a
personal custom configuration.
However, I have read some complaints in the mailing list about how pgAdmin 4
opens a web page in a new tab, unlike pgAdmin3. I do wonder if changing the
default behaviour to open in a new window would possibly address those
complaints, make it more similar to pgAdmin 3
We would love to have a separate window for pgAdmin 4, hence - we're already
working on the POC (using electron), and it is a side line project, and getting
delayed due to limited resources working on the pgAdmin 4.
I would like to invite other python/electron developers to help us evolving the
project in correct direction.

As an aside, is there a generic command that does the default browser in a new
window? I am using firefox now and have switched to and fro from Chrome. It
would be convenient if there is a single command that applies for both
browsers!Â

Hi,

The current default behaviour of pgAdmin4 is to load a webpage in a new default
browser tab, on the extreme right of all tabs. I find that less than ideal in
the scenario where I have a large number of tabs in firefox, eg, 50, and I will
be abruptly brought to that tab when pgAdmin 4 loads
I would like to suggest an alternative user flow, where the pgAdmin loads in a
new window. This could be an option, that could be toggled on and off with a
checkbox. I would even go as far to suspect that this may be more welcomed as
the default behaviour
pgAdmin configuration window provides the way to set the browser options. You
can set the appropriate command for your browser to always open pgAdmin in the
new window.
Right click on the pgAdmin 4 taskbar icon (elephant icon) > Select Configure >
Set the command for the "Browser Command" option.
I have attached the Chrome configuration for the new window for your reference.
Thanks,
