## Week 46 (continued)

### Tiled Friday

I got sick so I couldn’t be very productive. I tried to code a little bit anyway and I managed to:

- Switch from QGLWidget to QOpenGLWidget ([3fb30ab](https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/commit/3fb30ab01bbf4ae4a559172cdf977d65b8217859)). I did this mainly because QGLWidget is broken on HiDpi screens, but it also avoids a dependency on QtOpenGL.
- Fixed editing type and name for multiple objects ([e49c2de](https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/commit/e49c2de7dd0798f00200217ae2eb4bba0d4b6aaf)).
- Fixed ability to change the source image of a tile ([fde4544](https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/commit/fde45448b01d48ce083495e49605ea53b917bbdc)).

## Week 47

This week there was no Tiled Monday because I was visiting my mother in law with my family (while being sick). It is why there were three Tiled development days in week 44.

### Tiled Friday

I worked this whole day on restoring the broken links widget. It is a nasty beast to work on, though it is an important bit of functionality for those running into it. I didn’t manage to finish it just yet.

## Week 48

### Tiled Monday

In the morning I released [Tiled 0.17.2](http://discourse.mapeditor.org/t/tiled-0-17-2-released/1848/1), bringing some bugfixes (most importantly avoiding a crash on macOS). I also merged two pull requests:

- Support for Tileset margin and spacing for GameMaker plugin ([#1400](https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/pull/1400))
- Up/down buttons in objects dock + pixel coordinates for objects in status bar ([#1384](https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/pull/1384))

After merging the second pull request and [making some improvements](https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/commit/9ee3cf465126b5bd64ad0f629d2f81d4e00a37b1), I realized I needed to reverse the order of the objects in the Objects view for those actions to really make sense (regarding rendering order when using “manual” object ordering). So I spent the rest of the day implementing this, but at the end I wasn’t happy with the implementation. I realized I could potentially do it in a nicer way by creating a reversing data model proxy, and I made a start on that as well but couldn’t finish it anymore.

### Summary

Overall, I’ve made a great deal of progress on the `wip/tilesetdocument` branch this month, and I’m confident I’ll get to the point of merging it into `master` in December. At the same time, I’m considering to branch off a Tiled 0.18 release from `master` just before merging it, because I’d like to allow for a long testing and feedback period once `wip/tilesetdocument` is merged.

Merging that branch will be such a milestone for me, and I look forward to no longer having it around and focusing once more on adding all kinds of nice features to Tiled!
