Description

Hello, I am a Mac user, and I am trying to make a map for my Java FXGL game. I can't export a TileSheet as a .png. I can only export as a .tsx, a .json, or a .lua. I also can't click export as Image. Here are some screenshots:

I have looked for over an hour but I cannot seem to find a fix for this issue. Please help!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the tilesheet export workflow on macOS in Tiled, using the screenshots and the reported export options as the baseline. Trace why “Export as Image” cannot be clicked and verify that a tilesheet can be exported as a PNG; done means the PNG export is available and produces the expected image.
