Until recently, there was no usage of ITW on mac. It was know to "somehow work".  No mac-interested
developer ever worked on ITW. I personally do not have any mac knowledge, nor do I have any mac
around to test.

Many parts, especially desktop integration needs if(mac)  .. elseif(win) .. else {}... But only few
have actually did at least if(win).

If you have some knowledge abot mac desktop integration, please, contribute.

The exception below should not be a show stopper. If it is, you can disable desktop integration -
"never create".
