I assume you are talking about the "live_dumper" feature, where dump
information for all registered processes is dumped when any of the
processes crashes.

Minicoredumper only generates a core dump for the crashing
processes. For the non-crashing registered processes, only the data
registered via the libminicoredumper API is dumped.

It is technically possible that the minicoredumper generates core dumps
for all registered applications. But this is not implemented. If you
require such a feature, I recommend posting a wishlist item to the bug
tracker [0].

If I have misunderstood your issue, please clarify.
