Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows dbsync Daemon setup and checking how it reports errors before closing. Then inspect how the QGIS configuration plugin writes the configuration extension and how the Daemon validates it. Done means setup errors remain understandable and the generated configuration is accepted without manual renaming.

Description

Have been playing around with the dbsync Daemon for windows and just a couple small comments from a not coding savvy user.

  1. If the Daemon encounters an error, it instantly closes. I had to screen record to work out what I was doing wrong when trying to set it up.

  2. The QGIS configuration plugin saves the file as a .YML but the Daemon is specifically looking for a .YAML, again I only worked this out by having to screen record the Daemon terminal so I could see what the issue was, as it closes instantly. Changing the file extension manually fixed the issue.
