Workarounds for export problems (only on Windows?) #8

I've lost a lot of time to this and I'm not sure what the cause could be, but, just to get it documented somewhere, here's my current process for exporting tiles:

  1. Export as a bitmap. This will allow the tile set dialogue to appear when chosen.
  2. Export as 32x32 sprites. This prevents input images wider than the tile size from being corrupted.
  3. Export with desired settings. Steps 1 and 2 have fixed the XCF for the current session.

Can you document what this original problem is? I might be able to simply fix the bug if I know how to recreate it. It sounds like it probably exists in all versions, if it has to do with tile sizes.

The first problem is that when the Export button is clicked with "Tile Set" selected without having gone through a song and dance, the save dialogue closes (and no, Cancel doesn't export!). I expect this doesn't affect Linux since I didn't have this issue on Linux (with an older build of the plugin, but it's not as if it's fundamentally changed) and I know you developed and tested it on that.
