Hi,
On Mac one can create "agent" applications which run in the background (have no presence in Dock or App Switcher) but which can still display a UI. According to Apple's SDK documentation,
"Although they typically run as background apps, they can come to the foreground to present a user interface if desired. A click on a window belonging to an agent app brings that app forward to handle events."
This indeed mostly works for me, but I have one application which presents a QNSPanel which refuses to take input. A bit annoying for an authentication dialog in which one has to enter credentials ...
Any suggestions how I might get around this?
Thanks,
R.
