How to manage constantly changing project run-time parameters in the IDE?

In my (XE2) IDE I constantly have to switch the settings for Project Options/ Debugger / Parameters because I'm testing for different client configurations, databases etc.

The Parameters dropdown list is becoming unmanageable. Since these have no descriptions either, it's even hard to figure out which ones to remove (How can I clean the Parameters field in the Run -> Parameters menu?).

Any smart ideas on managing these?
In an ideal word I would like to give them a tag/description, reorder them, delete some...

Solution

  • Not ideal but a workaround would be to add a redundant tag parameter as first parameter.

    That way at least, when you use the dropdown list, you'll have some indication on what parameter combination you are using.
