Resolved
The first iteration of the map editor overhaul was helpful in some ways to some users, but detrimental in others. Multiple changes have been made so far to address those shortcomings.
  • There is a new menu option for classic editing where altering an instance alters all copies of that instance.
  • The first tab in the palette control is a Variants tab for known variations on the selected type (e.g., other icon states).
  • Palette autofill has been removed.
  • Palette tabs have been changed from primitive types to customizable.
  • The pop palette is global across all map windows and persists between sessions. It is saved in a human-readable .dmm-pal file.
  • Drawing movable atoms will continue painting more of them unless you use a modifier key such as Shift or Ctrl to place it in an exact spot.
  • The map can be zoomed with Ctrl+wheel.
