Thank you for your answer!
Those are good news (as long as the minidumps contain some useful
information...).

Some programs do have this feature (e.g. Firefox) but because there is no
feedback to the user I always have the feeling that the Crash reports are
only a "feel good" feature and that the emails are sent directly to the
bin...

Maybe LibreOffice can do better on user involvement.

Regards,
Pedro

These crash dumps are not a feature of LibreOffice. They are part of the
normal windows crash reporting procedures. However we are still hoping to
integrate some crash reporter for 5.2 that will generate the same format
and upload the crash reports to a TDF server.

Hi Stuart

Thank you for the quick answer.

Is this a new feature in LibreOffice? 

In case anyone is interested, the way to disable it is described in this
page

Re: [Libreoffice-qa] CrashDumps?

2016-05-12 Thread V Stuart Foote
You can delete them safely.  

They are "mini" dumps that depending on available symbols can be attached to
WinDbg and analyse the crash, or obtain a stack trace to review.

They get generated by default per user into their 
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\CrashDumps  if this Windows registry key is
present:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error
Reporting\LocalDumps


Note:  a program runing as Windows SYSTEM,  should not normally be the case
with LibreOffice, will dump with defaults to:

C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\CrashDumps

[Libreoffice-qa] CrashDumps?

2016-05-12 Thread Pedro
Hi all

While deleting temporary files in my Win 7 Pro x64 machine I found a folder
named CrashDumps in my %LOCALAPPDATA% folder.

Inside it I found a bunch of soffice.bin.#.dmp files (where # are
numbers)

Is this a new feature?

I'm currently using

Version: 5.1.3.2 (x64)
Build ID: 644e4637d1d8544fd9f56425bd6cec110e49301b
CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Windows 6.1; UI Render: default; 
Locale: pt-PT (pt_PT)

Are these files useful even if I can't reproduce what caused the crash(es)?
Should I upload them somewhere or can I simply delete it?

Regards,
Pedro
