Sounds nice. Wouldn't htis be a great feature for MP1 also?

This is theoretecial possible, but I doubt that this would work: MP1 would require a lot of code changes in every part where exceptions are caught.

In contrast to MP1, for MP2 there where only few lines of code needed, as it simply intercepts error containing log messages...

This plugin should be intergrated in MP2.

It's amazing how many errors can be produced by few users... Do you know user with french locale and who uses Ambilight plugin (before fix)?

You'll get some thousands of exception reports if it occurres in render loop

We already found some exceptions that need to be fixed, I'm sure most of them we would not have even known...

To include or not: we discussed this in our Team, there are few ways to think about:

1. Include it into setup
2. Extending our installer to opt-in for install
3. Get our package manager finish and offer such important plugins as "recommended to have"

While 1) would be immediately possible, we don't want users to send data to the OTE service without their agreement.
2) is difficult, as there is currently no dev who can change installer
3) is our preferred way, as we need to get a working solution for plugin management in any case.
