TinkerTool for OS X

Tinkertool3

You know how, when an application crashes while you're running Apple's OS X, you get that little pop-up box asking you if you'd like to report the circumstances of the crash, or not?

It's not as if you're in the best mood ever at that moment: it's always struck me as a kind of savage, mean-spirited rubbing of salt in the wound by Apple's software engineers.

So it would seem obvious that the little box would also have an option that said, "Don't show me this box again," like lots of other things on OS X.

But it doesn't.

But it does.

I just was told of a little program for us OS X users that lets you have access to all manner of things that Apple has built into the OS but, for reasons of its own, not made easily accessible.

It's called TinkerTool, and was designed by one Marcel Bresnik.

I've just downloaded it, and I can't wait for a Safari crash to see if it really works.

There's tons of other little features you can activate as you like, each tailored to the four OS versions Apple's released to date.
