I agree. In addition to attaching the log.txt, perhaps another automated bug report could be one that can include screen caps. Like you choose “file graphical bug” then it tells you to hit a key for screen cap. Maybe it even overlays a red ellipse for you that you can position and stretch. before hitting the capture key. Then you can accept/reject pictures until you have up to 4 (or skip the rest if what you have is enough).

The next dialogue could then just have the free form text (filled in where appropriate–like OS version and X-Plane version). You type in additional info, and hit submit. Bingo bango bongo!

just installed mountain lion and ran xplane. seems to work better and a little faster no crashes.

In reply to Nick Wood. I've thought about this as well. I'll keep it in mind in the future. We can certainly expand it's usage.

just a suggestion, now you’ve got that superb automatic crash reporting system setup could you not do the same thing for bug reporting within the main program? For example, in the x plane menu select bug report, we fill it out and send and the reporter automatically collects the files you require to monitor and send with the report. It’s not that we are lazy or anything but it would be nice if we see a bug we can report it there and then and you’ll have the last save of the log file etc. You could at least do this for the beta’s?
