Description

In the plugin, there is an option to set photo names. The user is able to insert an expression even when there is no layer selected. I spent some time to figure out, why the names of the photos are not named correctly.

To avoid mistakes, I suggest disable the expression field till the user doesn't select a layer.

Research direction

Start at the plugin UI for setting photo names and its expression field, then reproduce the behavior with no layer selected. Done means the expression field cannot be used until a layer is selected and becomes usable after selection; verify the photo naming flow afterward.
