Description

This isn't a problem for the bundled releases, which come with data, but could still be better handled. As HeWhoWatches found, it is a bit confusing to build the app and get a blank list if you don't have any data. For now we need a warning about why the list is empty.

(In r632) Fixes #300: WinForms UI doesn't make it obvious why nothing is listed on first run

  • Added a warning icon and tooltip message to the New Army dialog
  • Added initial English translation text

Also:

  • Layered the enabling of widgets so that they are only enabled when they make sense (so empty list won't be enabled)
