HOW TO DISABLE MOTU CRASH REPORTER IN DP9
At some point, MOTU built in their own crash reporter that produces a dialog on a crash and then sends reports directly back to MOTU. This is a good thing as it helps MOTU find problems more quickly, but for the user who wants to try to troubleshoot, it can be inconvenient.
IMPORTANT: I would stress only using this when having a recurring problem and needing to investigate. Otherwise, allow the reports to go to MOTU. They get a lot of valuable information to fix bugs the way it is, so don't disable as standard practice.
I can tell you two ways to disable it.
First the difficult way:
You type in the following into the Terminal window:
Code: Select all
arch -x86_64 "/Applications/Digital Performer.app/Contents/MacOS/Digital Performer" --disable_crash_reporter &
Now the EASIEST way: (acknowledgment to David Das who taught me this.)
• Download this very small file: http://motunation.com/files/Disable_DP9 ... ommand.zip
• Unzip and find the file "Disable DP9 Crash Reporter.command" and place in Apps folder.
• Optional: You can then click and drag that file to the right (documents) side of the Dock
• Click on it, and it will automatically run the Terminal command and launch DP9 with the MOTU crash reporter disabled. Any crashes that then happen during this session will generate crash reports in the normal location. (The script does not quit the Terminal app after launching DP9. If that bothers you, manually quit Terminal after DP9 has launched.)
• As a reminder, you MUST launch DP this way EACH TIME to disable the MOTU crash reporter, so DP will create crash reports on your hard drive. If you quit DP and then run again without using the Terminal command, crash reports will go directly to MOTU again.
