Yesterday, MPlayer crashed on me. In itself that's not so interesting, but what was interesting was their crash handler. A message popped up explaining that MPlayer had crashed, and that that was a bug. Then it proceeded to explain how to get basic debugging info, with a reference to a web page explaining how to submit bug reports. It also told me not to expect any reply unless I followed these rules to the letter.
I'm wondering, would this be a useful feature for CDRecord? It could print such a message when an error occurs, perhaps with a command line switch to turn it off for expert users who know that what they're doing might go wrong, or for use in shell scripts that only want a return value. I know there's a feature freeze now, but perhaps this could be included before the next release still? I bet a lot of people will upgrade and have problems, this may well be a good way to manage the chaos a bit better. Comments? Lourens PS: Oh, I'm willing to write the text if you want me to.
