How do I get the debug ID after a crash? (MacOS, Zotero 6.0.27)

ojobr

Hi!

I have a problem of Zotero (6.0.27, MacOS) crashing repeatedly when I click on "show file", including a mac report ("Problem Report for Zotero > Zotero quit unexpectedly").

I have tried to get a debug ID by enabling Debug Output Logging. But after I start Zotero again, I cannot find a Debug ID. And I could not find the solution to finding it on the forum here or in the documentation. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Once I will have the Debug ID, I will start a new conversation about the issue itself.
Cheers!

You can't provide a Debug ID after a crash, but we'd want a Report ID.

We haven't received any other reports of this, so this is likely something unusual about your system. What macOS version? Can you provide the first 100 or so lines from the relevant crash report in the Console app (accessible via Spotlight)?

Thank you. I have a MacBook Pro, 14-in, 2023, with an M2 chip, running macOS Sonoma 14.0.

And the strange thing is, now it doesn't happen anymore (after repeatedly crashing upon the stated activity). If it happens again, I will send the Report ID.

And here is the crash report from the Console app:
