The menu descriptions are available here:

http://www.xcrysden.org/doc/menus.html#__toc__61

Where it is stated that the properties menu is meant solely for CRYSTAL
GUI. (It can only be used with an output of a calculation with the
CRYSTAL program).

Various properties calculated with QE can be written in an xsf format
(set variable output_format to either 3 or 5 in the &PLOT namelist of
pp.x) and then opened in xcrysden via Tools -> Data Grid. Hope this helps

Best Regards,

Matic Poberznik
