Hi List,
I agree that the conent (no content) is not good. What we want the
user to do is to select an object or create/insert one, so it would be
nice to offer just that. It is a suggestion, but offering insertin of
objects may be best. Possibilities for this:
(1) Gallery
(2) Panel which offers to start DrawObject construction, like in the
drawing toolbar
We have a panel for (1), but the context switch would need to change
the TabBar (instead of reacting on context switch and changing the
panels dependent of content).
We have no panel for (2), but it may be not too difficult to crreate
one. Wouldn't it be nice to have/show that panel for other apps, too?
It could show the draw object creators as ToolBars with useful groups,
but some of this vertically, thus offering a much more direct
selection which object creation to start than the current Draw toolbar
offers...
Maybe too much for 4.0, but...
Sincerely,
Armin
We still need the replacement text when there is no panel. I agree
that we should show a property panel for Draw. But there are situations
where there is no panel defined. It can even happen as a result of a
configuration error.
So, does anybody has a better idea than
"Please, select an object to access its properties"
and
"Properties for the task that you are performing are not available for
the current selection"
We should keep in mind that this kind of changes means some extra work to
update the translation sources.
It's possible but if at all we will probably update the files only ones. This
means we have to define a deadline for this kind of changes.
Would the end of the week be OK?

From enhancement request 122049
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122049
With the sidebar enabled, on a Draw document with no object selected
the
Properties deck shows no controls and only displays the following text
"Properties for the task that you are performing are not available
in the
sidebar at this time"
This text is a bit misleading, because it is not clear that you only
need
to select an object to see something there.
I'm no native English speaker so I'm not able to provide a good
alternative
for that text. Something like
"Please, select an object to access its properties"
comes to my mind, but for sure there is a better wording. Suggestions?

Thanks for starting this discussion. What about this:
"Properties for the task that you are performing are not available
for the current selection"
