Import connections from other apps: Navicat

[datlechin]

Problem

Switching to TablePro from Navicat means re-entering every connection by hand: host, port, user, database, SSH/SSL settings, and so on. For anyone with a large Navicat connection list this is slow and error-prone, and it's a real barrier to adopting TablePro.

Proposed solution

Add an "Import from other apps" flow that can read Navicat's saved connections and create matching TablePro connections.

• Detect or let the user point at Navicat's exported connection file (.ncx) or its on-disk connection store.
• Map Navicat connection fields to TablePro's connection model: name, database type, host, port, user, default database, SSH tunnel, SSL/TLS options.
• Handle Navicat's encrypted password format where possible; otherwise prompt the user to re-enter passwords after import.
• Show a preview of what will be imported and let the user pick which connections to bring over.
• Surface it in the welcome screen / connection list as "Import from Navicat" (alongside room for other apps like TablePlus, DBeaver later).

Alternatives considered

• Manual re-entry: works but painful for large lists.
• Generic config-file import: still requires the user to understand the format. A guided per-app importer is friendlier.
