This is basically not-invented-here-syndrome on your part. >The main reason, though, is that the automatic crash report is much easier to >the general user: The general user probably doesn't understand what the mail is about. Nor does he have a KDE with debug enabled or the "enable crash agent" setting enabled -- a setting which you choose to ignore. I don't see how this gives you usable information from general users. More advanced users are probably capable of making a backtrace, or at least manually using a tool you would provide. But the main thing wrong is still that you're trying to force me to report a bug. That's a no-no in my opinion. I'm sure the OSS world would cry out if Microsoft did what you're doing. I'm questioning, as I have before, whether Amarok belongs in KDE proper.
