I realize it's been about a month since this issue was last discussed,
but the comment was made that knowing what users need affects the priority
of API development up at Apple.
I too, feel that I "need" the ability to do inquiries without using
Apple's browser.
The application I'm developing manages multiple connections to both USB
and bluetooth devices. The devices are (usually one) interactive whiteboard
and (usually multiple) tablets. My app is a Mac version of a pre-existing
Windows app. The powers that be prefer the Mac version's interface to work
as much like the Windows version as possible, and the Windows version
manages all of the devices in it's own single, custom window.
The fact that on the Mac I have to bring up Apple's panel to connect a
device instead of managing all of the devices on my own window has not gone
over very well. And it's not just the Windows look and feel compatibility.
I'm a Mac guy and even I don't like the way it looks/works from a
Mac-centric perspective.
Yes, I can accomplish what needs to be accomplished with the current
functionality, but I feel my app would look and work a bit better if I could
do the inquiry myself, without the panel, and manage the results myself.
