Research direction

Read src/LageBuch.App.Shared/Views/FilesView.axaml and compare it with src/LageBuch.App.Shared/Views/LinksView.axaml around line 52. Add the German empty-state message using TextMutedBrush and bind the list border visibility to the file count; keep the change scoped to FilesView. Verify with make test PROJECT=tests/LageBuch.Acceptance.Tests FILTER=Name~Files and make run.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

good first issue ux

The Dateien tab shows an empty bordered table when an incident has no
attachments. There is no sentence telling the user that this is normal and what
to do about it.

LinksView already solves exactly this, and it is three lines. From
src/LageBuch.App.Shared/Views/LinksView.axaml line 52:

<TextBlock DockPanel.Dock="Top" x:Name="EmptyText" Text="Keine Links hinterlegt."
           Foreground="{StaticResource TextMutedBrush}"
           IsVisible="{Binding !Links.Count}" />

with the counterpart IsVisible="{Binding Links.Count}" on the list Border so
the two never show at once.

What to do

Apply the same pattern to src/LageBuch.App.Shared/Views/FilesView.axaml:

  • add an EmptyText block bound to the inverse of the file collection's count
  • bind the existing list Border visibility to the count so the empty frame
    does not sit behind the message
  • use TextMutedBrush, matching the Links tab

Keep the message German, calm and short. Something in the spirit of
Keine Dateien angehängt. fits the house style; the existing add button right
below already tells the user how to add one.

Scope this PR to FilesView only. Several other tabs have the same gap and will
get their own issues.

Verify
make test PROJECT=tests/LageBuch.Acceptance.Tests FILTER=Name~Files
make run

Difficulty: easy.
