Is there a way to merge my gdl objects in the default biblioteque.icf
or is there a way the gdj objects that i add in biblioteque,(with the usual way) to be more "light" because after pushing a number of objects the project is getting very big and slow working.

You can create a LCF of your library parts. (if you really want to, you could extract the biblioteque.lcf, add your parts, and re-create the LCF)

Go to File > Libraries and Objects > Create Container... to create an LCF.

(if you really want to,)
Thank you for your advive,but..

Want do you mean (if you really want to) it is not recommented to do that;

Would be the file more heavy,than to just add gdl objects with the ordinary way?
"If you really want to" means: It's not necessary.

Just create a Container (LCF) out of a folder of your GDL objects, and load this LCF in addition to the biblioteque.lcf into your file.

I'd like to add: If you mix your own parts within the default library, instead of loading it separately, you'll have a hell every time the default library is updated.

That's my concern. I'd rather be able to globally replace the GS Library when they send out updates and not worry about what might have been added.
