Can we have properties converted to Title Case to match Freecad style?
Hey @shaise nice to meet you here. I did not know that this was also your work. What do you think about updating property names on this Workbench too?
Yes, I had a feeling it will come into this. Sheetmetal is a bit more complicated in that matter. But I will take a look as well.

Sorry to give you this much work dude!
I guess there would need to be a slow deprecation process whereby the deprecated properties need to be converted by a script for backward compatibility, notify the user that older versions of SheetMetal addon aren't compatible... ?
What if the priperties are read from the file as case insensitive, and converted to the title case internally. When saving the file, the title case is used?
I think that I will probably end up doing the same as I did in Fasteners. Only reason I postponed it is because I need to see how I merge the changes that were done for Ondsel's sheetmetel.
Actually, with my new changes, it is rather easy now to change parameter names and still be compatible with old files (it will rename them as soon as a change is made) However, since there is a much more comfortable UI Task Panel, I'm not sure it is necessary.
The new version of Freecad or the Workbench? So no properties on the properties panel anymore?
the property panel is the low level of any feature and will always work. The UI is only a helper.
But can we have the title case on the property panel as well to mimic other properties? This will give the professional look that Freecad deserves.
