You can also create a script that will copy your 1.10 prefs file over
the regular pgAdmin prefs file, and then fire pgAdmin 1.10. And create
another script that will do the same thing with your 1.14 prefs file and
pgAdmin 1.14.
I know it's cumbersome, but we don't have another way of doing it right
now.
I agree that it would be nice to be able to change the config file. The
fact that we use the registry on Windows instead of a config file
doesn't make it easy to do.
