Re: Running pgAdmin 4 v3.0 on Mac?

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.
