IDE breaks down over time

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
