Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently user can put any path in DBC textbox and WDE will silently fail if the path do not contain valid DBC.

Describe the solution you'd like Before saving, it should try to detect if path contains valid dbc. Checking for required files (without looking into the content) is enough.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the settings storage and DBC textbox handling. Add a validation step before saving that verifies the path exists and contains the required DBC files.
