Question - IDE predefined variable from type list for list of all gameobjects, LAG DELAY

[Liquid]

create an object
add a predefined variable for this object
use list as type of this predefined var
edit the list
add objects of your project
add more entries
add more...

at some point you have to wait 2 minutes and more for adding just one more entry in the list...
its soooooo bad ..so annoying..
i made a game with editor and the editor needs to know what item it can put into my level...therefore i use this predefined list of resouces ..and adding my 60 gameobjetcs is freaking waiting time...

finally i given up using GM2 IDE and used Windows Editor instead to edit the YY file of the object..saved in editor. and loaded the project with GM2 IDE again ... workaround found!

What's lagging? the IDE? The project when you run it? If it's the IDE, can you post the code that's lagging? I've not experienced any lag in the IDE yet and I have some pretty massive scripts. 60 lines adding something into a DS list certainly shouldn't cause lag if that is the issue you are trying to explain...

the IDE is lagging, i dont try to run the project ..running the project is fine though.. i just add the resource in the IDE to the predefined list that causes the problem

edit i added a pic to imgur ....as it wont upload here in the post..odd

if you edit this list (mouseclick on the gear-symbol after the list, before trashcan symbol) . list has enabled "multi select"... than adding one single entry (mouseclick on the plus-symbol for adding a new entry, than writing the name and press "return" to accept changes) will take for ages and IDE wont react in any way. windows shows the "busy" symble for mouse.

Ah, okay I see. In the variable definitions. You should file a bug report and include a link to download the project... as a work around, instead of editing the YYP, just define the list in the CREATE event of the instance using code. That way it's still in the instance and you don't need to mess around with the YYP file, which could potentially break the project.

i added a better picture where you can see the ADD button
and than you just need writing text into the new field
and pressing return will accept changes
THAN you get the lag ...waiting

....., just define the list in the CREATE event of the instance using code. ....

but than i dont have multi-select for my instances in editor.

and...
yes i broke the project, gamemaker IDE thought it would be wise to delte the whole object because the YY file was not in the right format and deleted all other events and code of the whole object !!! I did not even save the project but IDE deleted it anyway.
Luckily i had old export file where i could import the missing object and try it again.
