OK, I didn't have the time to work on Erminig today, so no progress so far

Palleman: that's a quite complicated workflow you have there! I hope you won't mind if I put aside for the moment all the sync chains and concentrate myself on the basics first. I will very gladly come back to the issues you are experiencing once I manage to publish the next release (this weekend if everything goes as planned, more realistically by next Tuesday)...
