How to view non-Windows .dmp files?

Tutorials on how to view dump files are usually about Windows .dmp files (like BSODs).

If an application crashes, it also happens that a .dmp file is created (named after the application).

Tools to view .dmp files are often (hardcoded) looking in the C:\Windows\MiniDump folder,
whereas crash dump files are stored in C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\CrashDumps.

Two questions:
1. are there any tools (preferably portable) that can open the .dmp files in the \CrashDumps folder?
2. do such .dmp files (crashdumps) contain personal data or file/folder name data?
If such dmp files are submitted for investigation, what personal- file or folder data am I submitting then?

Thanks.

No personal data is stored in crash dumps.

Thanks. I am aware of that tool, but, as said, it is looking in the MiniDump folder only, at least, AFAIK.
It checks Windows .dmp files that are in that folder.

Anyway, I have posted the crash dump files to the developer.

Thanks again.

Ah...!
Many thanks. I wasn't aware of that option.
Though, in my case, regretfully it makes no difference: after changing the folder, no dmp file list was displayed.
When selecting a single .dmp file (also in the advanced options), nothing was displayed either.

Not sure... but there is a line in the advanced options reading
"%programfiles%\Debugging Tools for Windows\DumpChk.exe" "%1"

I've searched for the dumpchk.exe, but it is not on my system, so maybe that is the reason..?

dumpchk is part of Windows Kits.

WinDbg is included in Windows Kits, and is the gold standard for analyzing crash dump files.

It has a learning curve.
