I have a newly downloaded binary of pgadmin (1.12), that defaults to an old user that does not exist on my machine. Any attempt to reset the path with the browse command causes pgadmin to crash/quit.

When I noticed the directory path issue, I wondered if that could be part of the problem. The user name is an old user that does not exist on the system anymore. There must be a file somewhere that was not deleted when I tossed the old version of pgadmin.

Sounds like something pretty funky is going on on your machine. Did
you take ownership of any of the files owned by the ex-account holder?

The settings are stored on a per-user basis, in
"~/Library/Preferences/pgadmin3 Preferences". It's in ini file format,
so you should be able to edit the value in there.
