  • In the Finder, go to your Applications folder, then Utilities and launch Console.app
  • Under the User Diagnostic Reports portion of the sidebar, locate the most recent crash.
  • When found, Control-click it, and then select “Reveal in Finder” from the shortcut menu.
  • Copy, or drag out the selected file from the Finder window and attach it to an email and send it to support@realmacsoftware.com
