Hello,

```
{ "source":"C:\/Users\/phil\/Desktop\/tiles.tsx"
}

```

I already implemented a json parser, I really dont want to go to xml 🙂

Unfortunately you ran into a bug. It’s already fixed in the repository:

[https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/commit/d556aaf4b7c4aea66b4619867438eb40f3e00692](https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/commit/d556aaf4b7c4aea66b4619867438eb40f3e00692)

The fix will be out in the upcoming Tiled 1.1.4 and the next development snapshot. I plan to release a new snapshot in the next two days. Not sure yet when it’s time for 1.1.4 since there’s some other issues to be looked into as well.

As a workaround, you can _Save_ instead of _Export_ your tileset in JSON format. Just beware that this will probably change the tileset reference in maps saved afterwards.

Oh well. 🙂

The development snapshots are [available on itch.io](https://thorbjorn.itch.io/tiled), they are the files labeled “snapshot”. But the above fix is not in the latest snapshot yet.
