When dealing with shared databases (Postgres at least) metadata other then databaseType get lost on reconnect. No exceptions.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a (local Postgres) database
2. Populate it with JabRef
3. Change e.g. "general file directory" in the database properties dialogue
4. Without disconnecting, check that the METADATA table contains a record for fileDirectory and that it is respected by JabRef
5. Disconnect, connect again. fileDirectory is gone
