Donate to pgModeler

Developers and Reviewers wanted!

pgModeler grown bigger and reached a state that its lonely developer cannot handle all the modification and new feature requests as well to create a user's manual. So if you know C++ and Qt framework programming and wants to contribute with coding or an user's manual let me know! I'll be grateful for any help to the project!

Compiling/Installation

For details about installation process from source code visit the Installation section on Wiki. If you don't want to compile pgModeler there are binaries available for purchase at official site.

Known Issues

  • pgModeler sometimes can crash during the export, import or validation process due to some threaded operations that, depending on size and arrange of the model, causes race conditions.
  • Due to particularities on executing bundles on MacOSX the file association does not work correctly on this system. So it's not possible to open a model file by clicking it on Finder.
  • To use pgmodeler-cli command on MacOSX you must call it by executing the following command inside the "pgmodeler.app/Contents/MacOS" path: ./startapp pgmodeler-cli [PARAMS]
