First of all nice work!
But I figured out a small UI bug. If the database have a long name, it isn't displayed very well.

I think I found another problem (bug). The applications creates a launchd config (com.postgresapp.Postgres2LoginHelper.plist) at ~/Library/LaunchAgents/, but there is no option in the app preferences to enable / disable the launch on system start. Or didn't I find it?

It is also not listet unter System Preferences -> Users & Groups -> Login Items.

@patricks
If you click on "Server Settings", you can choose which servers should auto-start on login, and you can disable the menu bar icon by clicking the check box in the main window

But you are right, there is currently no way to disable the LoginHelper. It always starts, even if no servers are set to auto-start and when the menu item is disabled. In that case it does nothing.

I think we could add a preference to disable the LoginHelper.

(Concerning LoginItems, it just seemed easier to use a LaunchAgent instead of a login item.)

OK, after some testing I found out that the "Show Postgres in menu bar" checkbox is broken... we're working on a fix!

Hey guys!

Just installed 2.0 and it always crash right on start. Don't know if it's a bug or something wrong from my part, so I decided to ask here. Also, don't know if it's related, but I was using a legacy version with postgres 9.4 and did a clean uninstall following the docs before upgrading to 2.0.

Stacktrace:
crash-report.txt

I've tried many solutions related to libpq.5 and psycopg2 that I found on StackOverflow, but none of them seem to work.
Did this happened to anyone else?

Thanks in advance ;)

@WiechersV I've been able to reproduce the issue. It looks like it happens when you open the app for the first time on OS X 10.10, when you have no previous databases. We need to investigate why exactly it is happening.

@WiechersV I think I've found the issue. Can you try if this binary works?
