[tiled-user] Moving and selecting layers

[Pedro Miller Rabinovitch]

Yes, drawing layer boundaries seems reasonable. I see the point of 
keeping layers as bounded objects -- it will be very useful when working 
with larger maps containing separate modules, etc. The resizing option 
should be available, I guess.

The optimal, IMHO, would be a set of preferences that ruled that kind of 
behavior. We could have preference sets for "Mobile Development" and 
other profiles. Certainly not a main priority, but I'll sleep on it.

I'll implement the CTRL-click functionality at some point and send you a 
patch. Yes, that's the way it works in Photoshop, and people here are 
big fans. :)

By the way, I've rolled out the first modified version of Tiled 
internally and so far I've mostly heard praises. People are very happy 
about it, particularly when they realize how straightforward it (mostly) 
is for me to customize and increment the software for them. I think we 
managed to convert about 3 designers to open-source in a single fell 
blow. :)

(Most loved features so far: multiple undo; multiple tilesets; layer 
opacity; zooming; the tile palette window)

Cheers!
