[texworks] Message from TeXworks user

[Paul A Norman]

Hi,

There have been a few message over time on this sort of thing.

Does it warrant a turn-off-able auto-detection of Preferences, and
throwing up an advice or launching the appropriate part of TeXworks
help if there is no typeset engine set or detected in likely paths?

Or would it be it too complicated to determine whether there is an
appropriate typesetting engine in path or settings?

Paul
