The file > connect paradigm is not overly intuitive for new users. As a suggestion, why not also place a prominent "Connect" button in the empty space where the apps would be displayed. Once they are connected, the button would disappear and be replaced by the list of apps.
-
There root problem is that "Connect", "Install Local" and "Quit" are in the single "File" menu. Renaming "File" to "Command" or "Action" would help.
-
That would definitely help. Or perhaps just have "Connect", "Install Local" and "Quit" next to each other and not in a menu at all - there is definitely enough room for it. With "Connect" being at the very top-left, it sends the message that "THIS IS IMPORTANT AND GOOD TO USE, TRY IT!"
-
Might also be good to be able to save or copy the info in the browser to local file for setup & later use.
"not too late is it, even now..."
-
With only one active control option "File" and, I thought "File" was ubiquitous therefore it would be obvious.
Anyway, I changed "File" to "Action" in the next cut.

Side note: most GUI applications I've seen that have the standard menu bar, also come with something like the File... Quit, etc. scenario. So this might throw off some experienced users by a little bit at first ;)
