10.6: Disable the Problem Reporter in Snow Leopard
Authored by: arcticmac on Jan 06, '10 08:20:41AM

I'm not sure why you say there's no way not to send the report to apple in 10.6. I see an "ignore" button when the problem reporter first comes up and a "don't send" button if you click the "report" button in the first pane.

Plus, if you're running your app under development from xcode the way you probably should be, it ought to catch all your crashes in the debugger rather than letting them get as far as Problem Reporter launching. And for apps that you aren't developing, Problem Reporter is an infrequent visitor, and provides some useful functionality when it does appear.

10.6: Disable the Problem Reporter in Snow Leopard
Authored by: asmeurer on Jan 06, '10 09:26:04AM

I think this doesn't just affect Objective-C XCode development. I have had the Problem Reporter pop up from segmentation faults in simple command line C programs that I have written. It can be useful to have the traceback pop up like that (you have to enable gdb when compiling), but you don't want to send that junk to Apple.
