You took the time to respond to my post and came up with a number of reasons why not,
and they all seem to hedge on an assumption that is incorrect - and that is why I suspect
you didn't read the technical note.
I have a philosophy that things should not be vary out from under users. When graphics applications introduced variable items (items that only appeared in menus under certain conditions, for instance) users were inevitably very unhappy. I don't see a lot of that now...
This is somewhat similar. A button in a prefs panel (accessing things from prefs seems inelegent to me to begin with) which may launch Apple's visual profiling tool, or one of our applications, or some other application that has chosen to hack itself in there more recently then ours... thats not an situation I find appealing. I can already hear the blistering criticism from some reviewer that installs one of our products, goes to the monitors control panel to launch the default calibrator for comparison, and finds our application now launches from there instead.
I've posted this response for the sake of list members at large. I've determined that further responses to Marko himself would be counterproductive.
