I thought this was a great idea, until I read that it costs 50 bucks. Really, tell me what end user of a shareware tool is going to spend 50 dollars to send an email to a developer? If this functionality could be built into applications, I could see the developer purchasing it, but why would I want to? If a program crashes frequently, I either stop using it, or if it is made by Microsoft or Adobe, I just curse at my screen, then relaunch the app.
Maybe I'm misreading this blurb.
MacCentral: BugReporter sends crash logs to developers:
Zonic on Wednesday released BugReporter 1.0, a developer tool used to send Mac OS X “Crash Logs” directly to the developer instead of to Apple. “Normally seen only by Apple, these logs allow developers to identify the location and cause of any crash in their applications,” explained Zonic.
BugReporter works with both Carbon and Cocoa applications and works with software developed using Xcode or CodeWarrior. Reports can be delivered either by e-mail or online, directly into a bug-tracking database. BugReporter costs US$49.95 and requires Mac OS X v10.2 or later
