MUTE repeated tiles (and sort) in 1.1.0b





Hey, guys! We have two news for you! One good and one bad. Which one should we start with?
The good one. We've updated the tool for removing repetitive tiles. And it has now reached its functional peak!
I mean after removing repetitive tiles, you can sort your tileset any way you want! You can sort your tilesets both manually by swapping tiles and automatically in all possible 8 directions.
In addition, you can now see the indices of tiles for easy sorting.
And we also changed the native file dialog to our own personal one, so that it would be possible to port the version to Linux. This is the main reason for its replacement.
And now for the bad news. You have noticed the letter "b" in the version number, right? It means that the program is still unstable. Because of the last mentioned change, a number of other problems have arisen. Most of all, it concerns text fields, in which we do not recommend typing manually yet, so we apologize for this.
Besides, the Linux version, for some reason not yet clear to us with X11, is delayed by one frame of drawing after any command and you have to at least move the mouse to refresh the screen. And so far nothing helps on X11 except to enable constant drawing, but we didn't go to that extreme so as not to eat up your CPU and GPU resources in vain.
This will all definitely be fixed! At least, the problem with text fields - for sure. And the X11 riddle is yet to be solved. We are not great professionals in such low-level programming in C, which is what this is written in, but we will try.
On top of that there are still a bunch of things remaining to be improved, but if we did this all the time, we wouldn't be able to update the tool to even the current beta version. So apologies for the "beta" version.
Anyway, none of this in any way prevents you from using the core functionality of the program for its intended purpose. So use it and wait for updates!
