     [SUGGESTION] Text Formatting Functions

    Hi there. I previously posted this as a bug, but was asked to open it as a suggestion in the forums. I've been told that if there is enough desire shown in the thread for this kind of functionality then the team will possibly add it to the list. I figure it's worth a shot! So please sound off...

     Change Sprite to Image

    so, just a suggestion. probably not really very important, or desired, but it just makes a nice cognitive disconnect whenever I see it. you changed backgrounds to tilemaps. Change Sprite to 'Images' as it is, you have lots of kinds of images being called a sprite, but a sprite is a certain...

    Question - General Suggestion: Wishlist

    It would be cool if the marketplace had a wishlist feature like you typically see on Steam and other storefronts. A couple of advantages When you see an asset you would like to purchase later, you could add it (instead of bookmarking), making it easier to find again later - you'd have one...

     Suggestion: Option for room editor

    One thing that bothers me whenever I switch to the room view is how the side bar pops up with all the room stuff on the left. Specifically, it holds the layers, room properties, layer properties and instance creation order. I'd appreciate if there could be an option to toggle off that auto...

    Windows Suggestion for manual

    While it's nice that each function has its own page, what would make it even more useful is if the listings of the functions could be organized with a description on their pages. Since I cannot post links yet, I'll just point out the Timelines main page of the GML section in the Gamemaker 2...

    Question - IDE Workspaces Navigation Questions

    1) Is it possible to have a split view of the workspaces, so you can see 2 workspaces at the same time, side by side in the main IDE window? (Instead of dragging out the second workspace into its own window). I only have one monitor at the moment. If I had two, which I will do as soon as I can...

    Discussion Bulk operations with resources

    (reposting from another thread) Operations on multiple resources is the feature that GMS 2 can really benefit from. So far we only have "bulk delete". But "bulk rename" (automatically adding a number/letter/word as a prefix/postfix) or "bulk resize" (for sprites) are only a few I can think of...

     [Suggestion] Auto-generate tiles for the Auto-Tiling tool.

    Hello! The new built-in auto-tiling tool is amazing, but is there some built-in auto-generator of the 47 and 16 tiles needed for auto-tiling? That would be quite useful. For example, for generating those 47 tiles I think you only need 5 of them: The idea is that the user provides those 5...

     Add events in full screen editor

    Hello yoyo! When working in full screen editor for objects I find it inconvenient to go back to the workspace just to open/add another event to the object. These options would be nice to have access to in the full screen editor. This would increase productivity because 95% what I do in...

     Sort Texture/Audio Groups (Suggestion)

    Hi, I was adding some sprites in the Texture Groups window and I noticed that you can't sort the groups, it's really annoying because when I want to add new groups that has numbers in it, I can't put "Stage_02" right after "Stage_01". My suggestion is simple: it would be great to have some...

     [SUGGESTION] A "Post Create" Event

    A couple of times now I've noticed that it would be really convenient to have an Event specifically for initializing values that depend on values which are set after creating an instance. This proposed Post Create Event would run only once just like the Create Event, but it would wait to run...

    Hi YoYo team and everyone! I would like to know if it was possible to add a #ifdefined or #ifmacro precompile check or another precompile check to check for use within extensions (I'm saying this because I think this is more of an extension development modular feature). #ifextension...

     tileset_get_sprite_index (suggestion)

    For my game I need a function tileset_get_sprite_index(tileset_Index) to retrieve the sprite index of the tileset of the current set tilemap on a layer. I may not use layer_tile_get_sprite because it's a compatibility function. I can use the draw_tile function but I need to scale it up. Besides...

     A few minor workspace suggestions

    Here's a few suggestions for the workspace that may help improve a coder's workflow. Clicking on "Edit Sprite" from the object should open and connect the sprite window to the left, instead of adding it to the bottom of the stack of objects. Add an option to allow users to set the default...

     Suggestion: Each side in a view gets a border when following

    I have a suggestion, which may have been made before, and if so I apologize. Right now you seem to only be able to set an x and y border when following an object in a view. I would suggest being able to set top, bottom, left and right borders. I have a game where the HUD is off to the left and...
