#2173 is merged. As noted in that PR, we currently only dump crash reports to disk and the user has to know that to realize they're there.

We should show a GUI notice that crash reports exist and what path they exist at and encourage bug reporting. In the future, it may be nice to have a "send report" button too. This is also related to #2182 because we may in the future want to show some information about the crash as well.

I think an initial success would be simply noting crashes exist, and what their file paths are.

What about a (dismissable) banner similar to the debug mode warning?
