@papernoise In case you need it, in the link are the files that fix this. I'll put them there since my work on refactoring the GUI will take a couple of days to be ready to be merged into the 2.0 branch.

those in the addons folder.

wheel.
Update Sierra and 9 verb inventory grids so they use the new
customization properties.
upd: refactor in Setup popup script for better code reading.

=== Ready to work on moving components based on source scene dependencies ===

When changing the GUI template, previous components are removed from the FileSystem.

* GUI components determined by group instead of scene path

Assign corresponding groups to all the components in the Sierra template.
Add .png files as part of copying components from the addon to the graphic interface folder in the game.
The .png files will need an extra validation to work properly. Same will apply to .theme files.

* GUI template change copies everything

Components and their scripts and dependencies are correclty moved to res://game/graphic_interface/
=== Ready to test updating the dependencies in each .tscn file ===

[upd] Use EditorInterface singleton in PopochiuObjectRow.
[fix] Removing a whole room from the Popochiu panel works again.

GUI template.

* Input field in CreationPopups allow pasting from clipboard
