Build the whitelist with NSDistributedNotifications between collaborating apps instead #2

What is the rationale for this? Do you only want to stop maintaining the whitelist?

Could we invent some kind of this-process-uses-SPMediaKeyTap label? E.g. a key in application Info.plist. Then we can check process for the label after checking the whitelist. This will allow you to freeze the whitelist and stop maintaining it.

I know very little about Mac OS APIs, so it's quite possible that my idea is completely crazy :-)

Yes, I want to stop maintaining a whitelist. It was always a bad idea, but I didn't have time to write something better. Info.plist key is a pretty good idea, I've been thinking about that one too. That's probably a better idea. I hope I will ever get around to doing it...
