No, DrMinGw crash handler is included in digiKam as well. there is nothing
to install.

If this one do not provide a dialog to report the crash backtrace to
developers (as under Linux), so i suspect that Windows cut the processus in
the low level.
It's not a trivial digiKam crash in fact. It's a low level dysfunction in
Windows core or something like that.

Remember that under Windows, you have plenty of layer used to re-route the
processus runtime, as to check execution with Antivirus for ex. It's the
hell...

Another possible issue is a low level library which is not compiled with
debug symbol and DrMinGW do not found the right way to get the backtrace
and stop immediately...
