Improve the crashlogs saving in Grim Reaper
Posted: Sat Mar 14, 2020 5:01 pm
Not everyone have a serial cable today or just doesn't have the necessary knowledge for how to use it properly ... quite often still hard to track informations or even saving properly a crashlog information using Grim Reaper, because some time when an application crashed (and a Grim Reaper window appear) it's very common that even the Grim Reaper GUI will "freezed" aswell with the impossibility to even select its tabs buttons in order to verify the log in details !
In addition to that, sometimes even pressing its dedicated button (Write crashlog) will simply create a blank txt file or just doesn't save anything in the specified path ..
That probably because the nature of the specific crash it handled
I wonder if Grim Reaper could be improved a bit in this area, maybe with the possibility to select with the mouse the log areas in order to let users to copy and paste elsewhere the crashlog information he need before the reboot so not to lost important info
The tabs that may support copy and paste text selection (or even better a new option in GR menu called "Copy log" or something similar could be actived in that 3 areas

In short all we need will be a 100% secure way to ALWAYS save every information by a crashlog in a new external file in order to not lost any of that important crash informations we need, despite the nature or the crash, and despite the impossibility of the GR window to continue to work properly
