I love to hear that you now can directly use .aseprite files as a tileset. But how do you do this? The list of known file types in the dialog field “Source” after choosing “New Tileset” doesn’t comprise .ase or .aseprite.
For this to work, the qaseprite image format plugin is shipped with Tiled releases. Please tell us your OS and how you installed Tiled otherwise there’s no way of knowing what could be the issue.
Thanks for the quick response.
I’m running Tiled.app, downloaded via Download Tiled Map Editor by Thorbjørn Lindeijer - itch.io, on a Mac mini M2 Pro with macOS 15.2. Among the many .dylib files in /Applications/Tiled.app/Contents/PlugIns there’s no library with “aseprite” in its name. Let me know if you need further infos.
@donbiskit You’re right, the macOS package appears to be missing the plugin! I probably only tested a local build and had made sure the plugin built and installed correctly, however I didn’t notice the plugin was actually not getting copied into the Tiled.app later on.
It’s likely to be due to the file extension, which is .so whereas the plugins that do get copied all use .dylib. I’ll try to fix this in a new Tiled 1.11.1 release macOS soon.
In the meantime you could try to put the libqaseprite.so from https://github.com/mapeditor/qaseprite/releases/download/1.0/qaseprite-1.0-macos-15-qt-6.8.1.zip in Contents/PlugIns/imageformats folder, but I think that might not work because this file isn’t code-signed (edit: yes, if you do this macOS will claim that “Tiled” is damaged and wants to trash it).
I copied libqaseprite.so into PlugIns/imageformats as requested and restarted Tiled.app, but nothing happened: still cannot choose .ase or .aseprite files. Never mind, I’ll wait for the next patch. Good luck and thanks in advance!
The releases on itch.io and github.com have been updated with a “Tiled 1.11.1.1” release for macOS, which now does ship with the Aseprite image plugin.
