Data editor slow - duplicating units, editing values, ...

Hello

Duplicating units, editing behaviours, even editing some fields, etc., is really slow which reminds me of the warcraft 3 editor. The fix in warcraft 3 editor was to turn off "Brush map" (Due to it was getting reloaded upon every change). Is there any similar trick today in Galaxy Editor?

Some views that I should be having that are faster than others (makes me bit sad that there's XML behind the scenes...)?
Currently using:
Table View
Display objects as list Tree
Show object explorer
Show field values
Combine structure values

The only thing I can think of is the overview manager. If you have the overview manager open, it'll slow down a lot of stuff since it updates the stats everytime something is changed. You can turn this off in some option in the overview manager so it doesn't update automatically but it's easier just to close it since you dont need it all the time.

Other than that, I think it comes down to a slow computer. There's a bunch of small things that could help a bit but not much.

* Single-clicking on a field and pressing ctrl+c and then single-clicking on another similar field and pressing ctrl+v will copy the value. This way you wont have to open the menu, which might take some time.

* Filling in lists can take quite some time, for example if you switch to the actor tab, it might take 5-10 seconds before you can do anything. To make this faster, search for something before you switch tabs. For example, if you know you're going to mess with the zergling actor, search for "zergling" and then switch tabs.

Those are the only ones I can think of on the top of my head. I'd suggest using "Show Advanced values" as well, but that's just a matter of preference (and might slow you down a tiiiiiny bit).

Thanks for the reply.

Yes I am copy and pasting most of the fields (was quite used to the wc3 editor, and copy pasting worked there too :p ), and using the the "+" sign in structured values, instead of opening up a new dialog... But tend to restart the editor once it gets too heavy, have a decent computer, SSD, i7... Tried sitting on quad AMD also (without SSD though), but couldnt feel any difference.

Switching tabs do not lag for me, only some fields...

"Show Advanced Values"? Where is this option? Is this an option in Heart of the Swarm only?

Edit: quite strange, that on my i7 PC the Show Advanced Values is not being displayed in the top menu > "View" > "Show Advanced Values", but on my AMD cpu, that option exists...

Even more frustrating is that the AMD only has a 92% installed playable version of sc2 (havent bothered to wait for the rest of the installation/update to complete). Cool :)

I forced myself to use table view in the 'actor' category and turn off 'advanced view' unless I really need it

This field ("Show Advanced Values") doesn't ever exist for me, can someone show some print of it please? :)

The editor is changed and there is no advanced view anymore, all values are now instantly in the editor

Where exactly are you looking for?

Data itself, I got confused because you said that on October, and my editor was different :p

But it's ok.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
