hai, I noticed that the tile ID under properties in the gui start at zero (“0”), while the actual data in the file starts with ID=1, where ID=0 means empty.
So, the ID in the gui should start at ID=1 as well, right?
No. The tile ID in the GUI is the ID of the tile within its Tileset, while the ones in the files are global tile IDs, which indeed use 0 for empty, but the actual IDs used for the tiles may be completely different from the tileset-local IDs, since a map may have multiple tilesets, and two different maps may assign different GIDs to the same tiles.

GIDs are also specific to certain file types, it would make no sense to use them in the GUI, as the user may not be using those file types.
ah, that way - got it and makes sense. thnx
