USB devices behind a Thunderbolt 3 dock now show up
Two fixes to how USB devices are listed, a clearer display-resolution line, and a translation update.
Fixed
-
USB devices behind a Thunderbolt 3 dock now appear. If you use a Thunderbolt 3 dock like the CalDigit TS3+, the keyboards, drives and other USB gear plugged into it were counted but never listed. A TB3 dock carries USB through its own controller chips, which WhatCable wasn't looking for, so those devices fell through. They now show up under "Other USB devices". Thanks to a support report for the detail that pinned this down.
-
External-hub devices are no longer shown as "Built-in USB ports". On desktop Macs, a keyboard or mouse plugged into an external USB hub could be listed under "Built-in USB ports", which reads as if they were on the Mac's own internal ports. WhatCable now tells an external hub apart from the Mac's internal one, so only genuinely built-in devices appear there. Thanks to @jimmyorz on issue #373.
-
Clearer display-resolution wording. When a display runs a scaled "looks like" mode, macOS reports a render resolution that can be larger than the panel's actual one. The diagnostic now says "macOS reports the current mode as ..." rather than stating it as the display's fixed resolution, so a scaled 4K panel isn't described as 5K. Thanks to @jimmyorz for catching it.
