This is annoying, just had a crash but all your internal logfile says is that it attempted to load x plugin - that's it. A Mac report is much more detailed and useful.

Usually on the Mac, the log file will include a backtrace of the crashed thread along with the addresses of the loaded binaries. This is the same information as is included in the the Mac crash reports and enables us to see exactly where the app crashed (unless of course it's inside a plugin but you can send the backtrace to the plugin devs and they should be able to re-symbolicate it given the correct load version number).
We store other information in the log file which we use to determine what could have gone wrong and I don't think it's possible to intercept the crash, do our own logging and then also pass this on the the system crash report.
