Thank you,

I think I am going for the second choice, with the helper (An directoryobserver that runs in a runloop should do the trick? Right?).
If I go without the helperthread, then you do not have any control over when the error will be submitted. The user might never ever try to run the app again...

Is there any way for me to view the errors my users
are sending; or should I implement such a function myself.

Two general approaches:

- SmartCrashReporter, which is easy & convenient for you since it's
prepackaged. Also somewhat controversial since it injects code into every
app launched. (Hint: disclose its use, and make the install optional if you
want to avoid criticism.)


- On launch, check for new crash reports and send them to yourself
(~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/...) Note that 10.4 appends new reports to a
single file per application, while 10.5 creates one file per crash, with
different naming conventions.


And a variant of that second one:

- If you're really ambitious, launch a background helper process to monitor
for crash reports as soon as they happen--probably way overkill for most
situations.
