There’s still not enough information about the TileMap layer, and there aren’t even any YouTube tutorials yet. I couldn’t understand it just from the page below.
The tilesets (if you already have one available in the form of Sprite sheet) can be imported through File>Import. After import is successful, tilesets will appear in Project menu>Project properties.
When making a new TileMap layer, a dialog will appear, in this dialog, you will be given an option of
Either using the tileset you imported.
Making a new one from scratch.
If you want to use a different tileset later, then that can happen as well. (You can switch between which tileset is used by the layer at any time)
After creating the Tilemap Layer, a new panel will be visible
From here on you can check this tutorial, it's for Aseprite but pixelorama does the exact same thing, the exact same way😁.
No, multiple tilemap layers can share the same tileset. (Think of tileset as a kind of Palette). You can change the tilesets used by a layer at any time through layer properties (right click layer button to see layer menu and select properties)
"File > Open file" does all the importing. You don't need a separate option. After you open the image file, a dialog appears, it is here that you tell pixelorama what kind of import you want
This is my DEFACTO pixel editor now! I love it! One feedback though, can layers be it's own panel vs being apart of the animations timeline? I'd really like to move it without moving the entire animations panel. I use a LOT of layers generally
Thank you very much! At the moment this is not possible unfortunately. We could look into implementing some sort of detaching feature to make the layers into a separate panel, but I'm not entirely sure how easy that would be to implement yet, nor how it would look as an option in the interface.
Or maybe even just make it be a toggle to be either a layers panel, timeline or both? I'd be happy with that! Then I could have a paint layout and an animation layout.
When using the Windows version I tried to save my art but the software wouldn't let me select a place in my files to save it and when trying to access it again I could not find it and the open last project option gave me nothing
Hello, can you provide more information as to what happens exactly? Are you trying to save a pxo file or export an image file? Does it show any errors when trying to save?

I cannot see the tools on the left side of my screen all I have is the line tool and color sample tool chosen and I can't switch
Hy, you may be on the wrong layer type.
can you see if switching to a Pixel Layer fixes this?
How exactly do I switch to a pixel layer, actually I figured out how to do this thank you.
hello.
How do I import a tileset in Pixelorama?

Sorry for the late reply 🙏

Hope this helps 😄
Thanks, I got it working. It’s a bit quirky.
However, it seems that the tileset and the tilemap have to be on the same Tilemap layer — is that correct?
Also, the import option for the tileset wasn’t in the top menu. I was able to import it by dragging and dropping, though.

thanks,i understood about it to some context
Hello.
Does Pixelorama have map-editing features like Tiled?
I wasn’t able to find such a feature myself.
