Why not just use psql and '\d my_table'?

Yes, that is annoying, but at least the 1.8.1 version of pgAdmin opens in the last db/schema used... that is the behavior I get.

File -> Options -> Preferences. Unmark "Show object properties on doubleclick in treeview?" Does that help?
PGAdmin for OSX is a steaming pile.
I use a combination of tools:
Aqua Data Studio
PgMaestro via Parallels
A majority of the time I just want to see the tables. When using pgAdmin3, I am forced to expand Servers->Local Server->Databases-><the desired database>->Schema->Public->Tables
And then when I finally get to the table I want, if I double click it, it brings up the properties for the table? Huh?
So I figure out I must click the table icon on the toolbar to bring up the table. Instead of bringing up the data within the same pane, it pops up a second window? Grrr....
While the tool gets the job done, I'm starting to miss MySQL just for the sake of having CocoaMySQL at my side.
