there is no hint to load default connections

[rduivenvoorde]

after last update, all settings are changed, so I ended up as if I was a fresh user.

but because the other tabs were not working (only Services was active), I thought my plugin was frozen. Untill I thought about my settings and clicked 'Add default services'...

Should there not be a message somewhere, in case of showing of the plugin with zero connections, telling the user: "to start: either click default services, or create a new cws connection first". I know we do not like popups, but ...

What if we test for this in startup and I there are no connections, then focus on the middle tab and set the text in the server info area with the hint to add default connections, etc.?

Yep, good idea!

Which made me wonder: should we not also make 'help' button in the button bar on bottom of dialog?
Because then another option would be: no connection: open help in default browser exactly on the part where you describe that a connection is needed etc.

FYI I've put in helper text for starters. Once we get this in docs then we can open in browser, good idea.
