The old version of the device toolbar was a complex situation. Because of the fact that device properties can take significant time to query, this put an unpleasant burden on the UI thread; so to fix this problem, the device toolbar was made to be threaded. However, threading is a complex and dangerous thing, and there is a fear that this could cause complications down the line whenever users are simply selecting devices. So for the time being, as a safety precaution, simplify the device toolbar down to just the "activate" button, and make it so that if users really need to query and change the devices, that they need to explicitly open the properties. That way the devices aren't being queried constantly every time a device source is selected. Alternatively in the future, device enumeration could be cached, but seeing as that's a significant amount of work and needs to take in to account whether a user adds/removes a device while the process is active, that's not going to happen any time soon.
