Context

This enhancement is a workaround for OS making the device invisible (possibly unavoidably) to the Application due to Secure Keyboard Entry functionality. More details here:
https://support.nitrokey.com/t/macos-sierra-and-nk-storage-connect-disconnect-depend-on-focus/234/15

Environment

  • Application version: 1.1
  • Operating system: OSX 12 Sierra
  • Device model and firmware version: Storage v0.45
  • Issue occurrency: always

Expected behavior

Application should not show message about disconnection, but make the tray icon gray.
If possible, this should be configurable.

Current behaviour

Application shows disconnection and connection messages each time user inputs securely password.

Steps for reproduction

Preconditions

Application run, device connected
Option Terminal > Secure Keyboard Entry turned on.

Steps

  1. Open terminal and write anything there
  2. Expect messages from the Application regarding connection state

Logs

None

I think the solution should not be to replace the messages but to fix the root cause, which is that NK App detects disconnection events mistakenly.

Added Context to the issue's description.
@jans23 This depends on is there any other working way to know the device is connected (real status) than used within hidapi library. It will be connected with searching OSX-specific solution.
