Description

Feedback from @therahedwig:

  • Click dragging sides to be marker a color for example... I had hoped that if I were dragging over the top of tiles to mark all the top-parts with the color, it ended also doing the sides.
  • There's no way to remove a single marking, only all colors on a single tile. I attempted clicking again, right clicking, middle clicking, ctrl+clicking etc.
  • Hopefully we'll be able to "copy paste" wang tile configurations somehow from tileset to tileset, or at the least some kind of common preset to color tiles with.

Hopefully @Bdtrotte will still find some time to continue working on this, and otherwise I shall need to have a look before the 1.1 release.
