Enhance Blender's User Feedback: 'No Camera Found' Message
Hi guys, I hope you are doing well. Today while using blender I stumbled upon a area where blender could use some work. **Basically if you have no Camera in scene and you toggle camera view or align active camera to view **. Blender gives no user feedback blender should atleast throw a error message saying "No camera found in scene" or something. I hope this message reaches out of dev's because it is great quality of life improvement Cheers.

There is camera in 3D view-port at all time, this camera is used for viewing everything or else you would not see anything you have in scene (no camera = blank canvas) This camera can be used to check where Rendering cameras point out. This camera can not be used for rendering since you need one default camera to move, work and look at the scene and since scene can have multiple cameras etc.
If you try to render without rendering camera you see notification that no camera(for rendering) is present so you have feedback.
If you know what scene can be then you will know that not every scene needs rendering camera.
This is not the point. Its about QOL and user feedback which is important for beginners.
Okay so if you press "0" or "0+Ctrl+Alt" without Camera in the scene there is no message saying there is no Camera in the scene.
Yeah for the beginners that might be helpful.
From the menues Vew/Align View/Align active Camera to View is grayed out which is good but View/Cameras/Active Camera is not or it does not give message when clicked.
Also if you're using grease pencil / link art - a camera is required to get the desired result. More than once have helped people with "what's wrong with my scene?!" and found they didn't realize a camera was needed.
