"No files selected" feature #403

Open romicolman opened 1 month ago

Problem description

Part 1

Right now, if the user wants to open files in the ODE, they need to click on the ADD button, However, we could also add a second option and transform the "No files selected" into a button too. Of course, this would imply to make some changes, like, for example, removing the "Select a file in the left menu" text below the icon and main text:

Captura de pantalla 2024-05-24 a la(s) 1 09 03 p  m

Current main screen

Captura de pantalla 2024-05-24 a la(s) 12 33 51 p  m

Part 2

In addition, when the ODE has no files open, a similar option appears on the left menu:

Captura de pantalla 2024-05-24 a la(s) 1 15 09 p  m

Current main screen when the left menu is empty

Captura de pantalla 2024-05-24 a la(s) 1 14 26 p  m

Steps to reproduce it

Additional comments

We need to check with the UX specialist if we need to adapt/change both elements.
