I must agree here. Automated crash reports have kind of a bad reputation, mainly because of Windows XP. * you don't know what is being sent, and even when its listed you can't be sure there's no personal data * you don't know what is being done with the data * there's nothing done about that, at least that's what I feel
better: * ask the user once at the beginning if he wants to report crashes and list the information THERE * NEVER include things like the current program's memory page dump or something alike * then DO NOT ask again but just send it alternative: * pop-up which sais that a crash report can be sent if the user wishes, but: * it only has a input field where the user can say for himself what happened and when * checkbox saying something like: "include relevant data", where "data" really leads to ALL the data being sent The current problem is that hardly anyone trusts these crash reports - that's what I experience when talking to friends about that issue. So we first have to make the user think that something is being done. I've repeatedly used the "Firefox made me sad"-thing but I've never used the crash report before.
