Hi, so far I managed to do everything I want with Tiled, but I have a small problem at the very end.

When exporting the file to an image, the object’s names are no longer showed… Of course, i could edit it with Gimp or whatever, but that’s rather annoying, is there a easiest solution ?

Thanks !

You will need to do that using an extra script or program I fear.

There is indeed no option to save an image with the labels enabled, so either you could try to code this, or alternatively maybe you could just take screen shots of Tiled and stitch them together in GIMP.
