Hi, I’d like to +1 this as a question and suggestion.

In addition to that, it would be helpful to be able to replace, from within the editor, the Tile being referenced. (I’ve decided to use Object Layers to put in the sprites instead of the Tiles because some tiles are bigger than the logical tile dimensions. But creating a map without the usual Tile tools is a bit cumbersome.

Perhaps a workflow like this?:

  1. selecting the Image Object/s
  2. selecting the Tile in the tileset window
  3. RMB > Replace image in selected object/s

… or something like that.

Thanks for reading. :slight_smile:

This gid value works the same way as it does for tile layers, which is explained here.
