File menu

As the name implies this menu pertains to stuff that involves a file in some way or another. Here is documentation for such. Due to the fact that there are many file options this menu is divided up into sub menus.

Tiles

• Open tiles
  Loads tiles in the format of the selected system
• Open truecolor tiles
  Loads tiles that contain rgba data.
• Append tiles
  Same as open tiles but instead of overwriting will append tiles.
• Save tiles
  Like open tiles but saving instead of loading.
• Save truecolor tiles
  Do I need to say anything?
• Import image to tiles.
  Utilizing an image file you can easily load tiles. This function is very similar to import image to tilemap except the tilemap is not affected.

Palettes

• Open palette
  Opens palette saving in currently selected game system format.
• Save palette
  Reverse of above.

Tilemaps

• Open tile map or blocks and if NES attributes
  Loads tilemap or blocks and if system is set to Nintendo Entertainment System also load attributes.
• Import image to tilemap
  Imports an image to tiles and changes tilemap so that the tiles are in the proper order on the tilemap.
• Import image to tilemap
  Replaces tiles on the tilemap with image data.
• Import image to tilemap
  Saves the tilemap as an image. Good for ripping art or whatever you feel the need for this feature.
• Save tilemap as with system color space
  More for testing purposes. Maybe someone will use this? What the function does is dithers the tilemap using all colors that the current system can display.
• Save tile map and if nes attributes
  Reverse of opening tile map and if nes attributes
