User Feedback - improving CalDAV installability and stability #462
Description
Problem
Observed instability: The profile save routine in CalDav Synchronizer relies on the Outlook tree dropdown UI.
Failure mode: When the binding state isn’t persisted, the routine fails silently — no error surfaced, no state written.
Impact: Users believe configuration is saved, but the binding state is lost, leading to sync instability and wasted troubleshooting cycles.
Solution
Recommendation: Decouple profile persistence from UI dropdown state.
Technical ask: Ensure binding state is explicitly written to the profile config file, with validation and error reporting.
UX improvement: Provide a clear confirmation or error message when save fails, aligning with Microsoft’s principle of “intelligent defaults with user control.”
Outcome: Increased reliability, reduced silent failures, and improved trust in the sync engine.
Personal Note: This is my first post at GitHub. I hope the style is OK.
I am getting on the open source bandwagon, so more power to you!
