Description

Now that tiled supports rearranging tile order in a tileset, it would be nice to have the ability to keep a tileset in sync with a folder.
So the user would select a folder when creating a tileset, and the tile order would be based on the alphabetical order of the folder and whenever an image is added to the folder it is automatically added to the tileset.

Possible issue : What happens when an image is removed, with a tile used in a map : does it delete the tile "silently" or is there a prompt/warning to replace the tile with another tile on the tileset.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. First clarify the tileset and folder-sync design, especially removal of images already used by maps, then locate the relevant tileset and folder-handling code; done means folder ordering and additions stay synchronized with an agreed removal warning or replacement behavior.
