Hi Monte, Here's some thoughts on what I would like to see. As a generic category, anything that makes my Mac applications look like real Mac applications, i.e. access to the more recent native OS X controls. In particular, the ability to include icons/buttons/etc in a window title bar - I think it's referred to as a toolbar. Another one would be direct access to the Mac Address Book.
I've seen the beginnings of both the above by others but they never seem to quite make it to market. Another category would be access to some of the sqlite functions that RunRev do not expose to us and, in fact, the ability to access a more recent version of the sqlite library than is included in RunRev, which is woefully out of date. But that's probably a bit too specialized for general use. One other that comes to mind is tools to help with Apple's sandboxing rules. For example, apps that open files from a "Recently used" list violate the sandboxing rules unless it is done by establishing "bookmarks", wehich can't be done directly from Livecode. I believe, but not 100% sure, that any attempt to use the shell command in Livecode would violate sandboxing rules. Of course, that covers a huge amount of ground but perhaps a set of common os request that LC developers use could be a basis.
