Agreed. Since this isn't a priority for Palle I'll have a look at the patch to see if I can extend it to make it suitable for submitting it, but since I have never contributed source to PostgreSQL I don't know yet if I can handle it. I've opened an issue on Github to discuss what to do about Postgres.app and the upcoming 9.4 release: https://github.com/PostgresApp/PostgresApp/issues/233 <https://github.com/PostgresApp/PostgresApp/issues/233> Best regards, Jakob
