Folder colors stop working in GMEdit

Hello YellowAfterlife, how are you doing?

I notice that after updating GM, GMEdit no longer loads the folder colours, so I wonder, should I re-enable something? Sorry if this is a non-important question

GMEdit gets the user folder name from um.json, so if the GM IDE logs you out (which it now does more often!), GMEdit can’t figure out where it’s supposed to look for your project state files.

Thanks! Just logged in again and back to normal here.

Where can I locate this um.json if I may ask?

It’s in your GameMaker folder, typically %APPDATA%\GameMakerStudio2\um.json
