TileStudio for Lazarus

[Ñuño Martínez]

So here I am. I've decided to focus in a new TileStudio. I've started from zero because I'll do somethings different so I'll call it "TileStudio plus".

But I was working on the "tileset editor" part and I've realized that I would change the GUI. Instead of use a single form for everithing I might use a multi-window way, similar than Lazarus and Delphi. The idea is a "project window" (a project will group tilesets, maps and other stuff as DTS files in a single unit), a "tileset editor" window, a "tilemap editor" window and a "DTS description editor" (actually a simple text editor). This way you can see more than one tilemap at a glance, compare tilesets, etc.

What do you think?

Not a bad idea. I'd just make sure that you don't have a huge window clutter. Maybe allow for some tool bar management options too? Allow users to save their tool bar layout perhaps?

Not sure if I've understood you.

For window management I'll add a "window list" menu option as in Delphi/Lazarus. May be also a button or option to "order" them.

About save tool bar layout, actually the Lazarus' toolbar component is very "static", but I was planned to investigate a way to modify it.

I'll post news here when I have something to show.
