I have observed some strange behaviour with phd2 and indi server when properties are saved via the indi gui using Linux.

To be specific. If start from everything off and connect the server and then phd2 I can drive my scope mount (AstroTechTracker) DEC and RA.
If I start from everything off and connect first my Planetarium app and my camera app (ccdciel) then connect phd2 I can view my guide scope images but I can't control my scope mount.

I notice that from phd2 if I save the INDI properties I get strings and numbers surrounded by a single quote for example:

<newSwitchVector device='LX200 OpenAstroTech' name='DEVICE_BAUD_RATE'>
  <oneSwitch name='9600'>
      Off
  </oneSwitch>
  <oneSwitch name='19200'>
      On
  </oneSwitch>

If instead I use my camera app (ccdciel) or my Planetarium app I get the same information surrounded by double quote:

<newSwitchVector device="LX200 OpenAstroTech" name="DEVICE_BAUD_RATE">
        <oneSwitch name="9600">
Off
        </oneSwitch>
        <oneSwitch name="19200">
On
        </oneSwitch>

If have indi configuration saved with double quotes no matter how I start my rig I cant control the AstroTechTracker DEC and RA from phd2.

To recover my system I have a backup folder with the configuration with single quotes that I overwrite the .indi/* folder with and then I can start from everything off and connect the server and then phd2.. everything works again.

I think that this is an issue with phd2 saving the indi device properties with single quote and being unable to read the properties returned with double quotes. I suspect that this is Linux only.
