Summary0005681: Copying a particle in the Particle Editor creates an ___editor list entry which can lead to crashes
DescriptionWhenever one uses the "Copy" button to clone an existing particle, 2 new entries are added to the particle list:
- the intended copy of the particle with the correct name
- another copy of the particle with ___editor appended to the end of the name

Closing and reopening the Particle Editor gets rid of the 2nd entry.
Steps To Reproduce1) In the Particle Editor, select a particle from the list and click "Copy".
2) You're prompted for a name for the particle, then for the name/location of the .prt file. Fill this out and click OK.
3) 2 entries are added to the list, as per the description.
4) Close the editor, then open it again. Now only 1 of the new entries remains.
TagsNo tags attached.

That second particle is a "working copy", which is displayed and modified before you hit save, at which point the working copy will be overwriting the "real" one.
I can maybe look into hiding it from the list, it's an internal thing anyway. Does it cause any troubles, or can it get you into weird situations?

I added a quick fix to hide these __editor particles from the list, as they really shouldn't show up there.

DR crashes if I try to save changes made to the ___editor version, so that does qualify as troubles. Changes made to the "real" version are saved properly even if the ___editor version is visible in the list, so it looks like there's no need to see the ___editor version.

Ok, then the fix should resolve the problem.

The portable package in the build artifacts (https://github.com/codereader/DarkRadiant/runs/3168561451) should contain the fix, if you'd like to check it out (you have to be logged on at Github though).
