IDE breaks down over time

[Monte Goulding]

It’s likely you are encountering some execution errors in the IDE scripts. Try setting gREVDevelopment to true and see if you get any details to report. We know there are a number of issues with the project browser keeping track of objects which is why I recently wrote an object repository library in LCB. We haven’t had a chance to update the PB to use it yet though.

Cheers

Monte
