GMEdit doesn't load projects in newest IDE / Runtime

Hi, 

I just updated GM and have the following IDE / Runtimes:

IDE: v2024.2.0.132

Runtime: v2024.2.0.163

Unfortunately, any project saved with these updates cause them to not load in GMEdit (The top-left window remains stuck at "Loading..."). I'm using the most recent version of GMEdit (Feb 2024). Would it be possible to update GMEdit so it works correctly again?

Thanks!

I have released a mini-fix that makes GMEdit open 2024.2 “compatible” project format

There are bound to be additional inconveniences as properly supporting this (including the “beta” format) requires either horrible hacks or a substantial rewrite to how GMEdit handles saving/loading.

Thanks for the reply. Just DL'ed and tested it, and it opened without issues. 

Going by what you've said, might it be worth a consideration to make GMEdit 2024+ a premium buy to help support its ongoing development alongside GM? GM's own IDE is horrible and I haven't used it proper since using GMEdit a few years back.

I don’t think that making GMEdit paid would help much - the tool is likely living through its last months of (relatively) widespread use anyway as the new code editor update borrows plenty design decisions from it.
