Enhanced Parameter Customization: Order, Friendly Labels & Hints

[Cacsjep]

Often in small ACAP apps, the use of axparameter settings in the AXIS web UI proves very convenient—it eliminates the need for a dedicated web interface for minor configuration settings. However, there are a few improvements that could enhance how these parameters are presented:

• Disable Auto-Sort:

  • Allow developers to manually specify the order of parameters instead of relying on auto-sorting. Currently, creative naming is required just to achieve the desired order.

• Custom Display Name:

  • Introduce an optional field in the manifest for a “nice name” for each parameter. This would enable more user-friendly labels and avoid the automatic case conversion applied by the web UI.

• Parameter Hint:

  • Provide an option to add a hint or description for each parameter. This feature would help users understand the purpose of each setting, similar to the hint available on the Axis password field.
  • 

These enhancements would make parameter management more flexible, streamlining configuration for both developers and users.
